HI,
I've been making models for over 20 years.
I have swapped from doing Tamiya to Dragon AFVs.

In my non modelmaking time I run a succesful WW2 living history group -
http://www.soldierblue.homestead.com

I'm currently working on some more models to post on my website.

All the best,
Matt

Welcome Matt, PebbleMonkey strange name for someone whom I assume is or was a RockApe? judging by the banner. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

hey matt nice sherman, though if you're striving for accuracy you need to drill four drainage holes on the front of the bogies... this might be a problem seeing as you've already attached them... but if you aren't striving for accuracy it could easily be covered up with a good dose of mud and weathering... still it's a very nice build keep up the good work. (don't think i'm criticising coz i'm not just suggesting in the end of the day it's your build.) Ant

Hi Ant,
I'll drill the drain holes out.
Can't hide my mistakes with Mud as there is no mud on Tarawa or on the LST.
If i was aiming for real historical accuracy with this particular kit, there would be severed Japanese Heads attached to it as thats what the USMC did to frighten the Japs.

Hi,
Just found a picture of myself on the internet.
I'm wearing my 17/21st Lancers uniform.

Hi James,
I've posted the pics in the constructive critsm section, so bound to get some abuse!
