Very splendid indeed.

Fantastic! Makes me wish I could do Tanks in 28mm, those really are the dogs dangly bits.

Excellent work, Mr Goat. I didn't realise that the British also used the bocage-clearing cutters on the front of the Sherman - I thought they were a purely American thing.

Sir Rivett Counter tends to agree. There was one (!) installed on a Cromwell (& which was actually a Centaur), for which photographic evidence exists & installations on other vehicles, but they were few and far between.



Here's one, on a British (or Canadian, Polish or possibly Free French...) Sherman. Some informed discussion from the same source. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/track48 ... t3605.html


and one on a Firefly, from a possibly dodgy download, so I won't link, but it's in the New Vanguard on the Sherman Firefly...

these were the only 3 examples on "British" vehicles I could find on Google...

Who cares? It looks splendid! Just perfect for impaling Jerries!

It wasn't a criticism. It is indeed splendid work.

I know Et.... neither was mine

That town’s looking fantastic. Tanks are pretty as well

Lovely tanks, tanks Simon

If I could paint like that, I'd do 28mm.
