Peter,
Sounds good. It's always good to have someone that's "been there, done that" to ask.
Thanks for posting!

I'm finishing up a Sherman right now. Not very good at this, but i guess as long as I'm happy with the results it's all good. Still trying to figure out how to upload photos...once I do, I'll post them. I have found, after navigating this site, that I'm not as detailed as most. If I choose say a certian color mud or dust that I like, thats what I use for example. Don't research the AO where the tank was supposed to be...but...I'm learning...i think historical accuracy is my next step in this hobby.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Welcome to the site. It's the best to be found. I'm sure you will learn new techniques and develop your own. I would hope that after 35 years you have some. Going to have to keep you in mind as the go to guy for references. No offence Frenchy.
