Still on the turret.............dave

Working on the ammo loading hatch............dave

This is amazing.

Just amazing. Really nice modeling.

Question...How did you set up that full image plane panorama to build this? Is that how it's generally done? Also, how did you set up that ultra ghost-gray lighting scheme if you don't mind me asking? I've seen it in places before. Is that like a standard level adjustment lighting parameter that everyone uses, but that I have no idea about? Or are you just really good at lighting as well?

Any pointers on that last part? Thanks. Just really impressed by your work.

Pro, man.

Thank you TravisCowsill
I use poly planes to set up my ref images and keep them in there own layers, I think the lighting you are talking about is a occlusion render theres a free tutorial on this site............dave

This is me for today nearly finish the side hatch..........dave

Looking good Dave. Nice hatch details.

Thanks Rick
Starting on the back mantlet...........dave

This is looking great so far. I like the organic-ness (word?) of the turret.

Thanks Mayaniac
I know what you mean, this sherman is mainly cast metal for the turret and the hull not made modelling easy but that was the challenge for me..........dave

Edit:Americans must have had big screw drivers?

Just added a 50cal that I made for a earler tank still a bit to do for the turret............dave

started on the 50cal cradle.............dave

Mainly done with the machine gun mount (might add some chains that keep some of the pins safe).............dave

Wow looking good dave!! starting to come along nicely mate! wow

cheers bullet

Thanks Bullet
I keep on finding things to do but but nearly done with the turret..........dave

Started on the hull, did the bit that I thought would be the hardest bit turn out to be easy next cut out the hatches..........dave

Edit:need to remore parts of the edge loops that I added to soften up the back, Now fixed
