Hello, I found the Sherman Shop looking for a model kit. After reading a few build logs I decided to join up as I know I have things to learn.
I started building Shermans back when the Monogram M4 was about the only thing I could afford, or find. I got the Hunnicutt Sherman book as a first edition from the local book store at the mall back in '78 and still use the poor worn out book. I was part of the Tank Workshop for the first couple years and am responsible for most of the Sherman line. I only wish there was an internet back then so I could have corrected all the errors I made in those kits.
After a long time away from serious building I am back at the work bench. From the logs and blogs I see now that I missed getting some fine models, that there is far more known about the M4 series, and that kit prices are painfully higher than I remember.
At the moment I am working on a IDF M50 HVSS, and after getting 1 boogie together, almost, I'm a bit cross eyed.
Tks,
Randy Neeley
