That 3-piece transmission cover really came out nice!
Gary,
To insert the big pictures you'll have to host the images on an external image site. Popular ones are Photobucket and Imgur, they'll allow you to upload pictures from your computer to their server and will provide you with a direct link to the image. Something like "www.examplesite.com/abunchofnumbers/myimage.jpg"
You can then insert the images in your RCU post using the "Insert Image" button in the reply box toolbar, you'll see a tab for inserting a web URL in the window that pops up. I generally prefer using this method because of the ancient RCU image upload system. The RCU image servers seem to be powered by potatoes.

Those images are from the Finescale Modeler's Guide to the Sherman. I managed to lay my hands on a copy a while back, and recognise them. I don't think FSM would want me to scan and upload the images from the mag, with hull types, track types, etc... was pretty good, except it left out a chapter on the turrets. *sigh*

Hi,
Very Nice -
I saw this posted on Amazon, is this the book you used?
http://www.amazon.com/Building-Detai.../dp/0890247897
There is a link on the FSM site to the February 2002 issue, including a "Sherman Guide"

Did a quick search for that to see if I could get ordering info...couldn't find it. I did find a link with a small article: http://www.finescale.com/en/Online%2...specifics.aspx. Was the Guide part of a regular issue or a special issue? Too bad about omitting the turret info. Maybe it was in a subsequent month?
