Nice job on the bogies Spud, and yes I can see why it would be expensive to have a spare just lying around!

Hi Spud I bought rubber flooring tiles for my working area off of ebay, they are made from the same stuff as carry mats you take campimg. They have saved my airbrush many a time.
The Sherman looks Brilliant by the way.

Very nice update Spud, and nice PE work mate. One thing I did spot but could be wrong. On that horizontal piece on the rear, looks like you missed the mold seems on the strips that cross over. like I said, I might be wrong. Figured with paint and weathering it may stand out if it is.

Nice progress spud!!! Watch that Bolt strip between the front hull and trans cover. It can be a bit fiddly on dragon kits.

Looking damn great Spud! Superb! I'm sure you'll know this but it had to be pointed out to me! The bolt head detail to be added on the lower hull where it meets the gearbox housing. I thought it was 6 - apparently it's 8? The bolt head details are moulded onto the edge of the two wheel assembly sprues iirc? Sorry but I know next to nothing about Shermans! All I know is this bolt detail is supposed to be there but it's not present on the instructions. Looking great buddy - love the covered MG! Ben
