Thank you all for the nice compliments. I'm pretty proud of this one. I'm thinking about taking it to the contest in KC on October 4th.

Rui's Forrest Sherman was one a few excellent Forrest Sherman models that I found valuable references as I built mine.

I've come up with a steady techinique of taking photos of my models. I don't know which I like better; looking at the real models or the photos of them.

Mark Smith (Gunny) has a great format on this web site for displaying photos.
