Thanks Beekster
Is there going to be ANOTHER Sherman in my future???

Tony lee

One could model Shermans for a lifetime and never build two precisely alike.

I know someone who did this. He built 63 versions of the Sherman from the prototype models to the last one in service in some South American country. He limited himself to Sherman tanks only, for obvious reasons mentioned above. His collection took Best Collection and Best of Show in the 2007 IPMS Nationals in 2007.


And he finished them all in two years.....

Yep, that was Jim Wechsler who did that.  He built his first Sherman about four or five years before the 2007 show, but the bulk of his collection was done between 2005 and 2007.  His speed is impressive...

Yeah! Good ol' Jim Wechsler! Good friend of mine, and a member of my So Cal AMPS club. His speed and quality are most impressive!
