Sherman MK V, Vaucelles, France, August 2, 1944
Faded markings, installed the smoke launcher and the bogies are finished and installed
While starting to work on the track, started making up a base.
Used jute twine for the straw/grass. Got it and camo netting in place on the front and turret. Finished the tools, so can start working on the engine deck. Tracks are installed and can start weathering them.
And finished (except antenna, which I just remembered)

Mike van der HaarLooking good, Chris!
There's a Fort Garry Horse Sherman still standing in Deventer, the Netherlands.

Chris DerksenThanks guys, appreciate it! Hopefully, I'll get it close to finished over the weekend, I was having a terrible time comping up with something authentic enough for the grass/straw but after a couple of ideas this week, I finally have settled on jute twine and am very happy with the result.
I've looked at a few pictures and such of that one lately, Mike. It's a good looking beast!

Chris DerksenThank you guys so much!! I enjoyed this build a lot, but I'm going to take a break on Shermans for a build or 2 before coming back to the 3rd installment in this FGH series.
