This is my Sherman ARV Mark 1. I used the Dragon Firefly for the base kit with the Resicast conversion. A fun kit to build but a fair amount of scratch building was involved as the Resicast conversion leaves a little to be desired.
I priomed it Sunday with 2 coats of Mr. Surfacer 1200 in a spray can. I'll be base coating it today I hope.

Here is my Dragon Wagon. I used Eduard and Royal Models etch and resin to dress it up a little. It is a fine kit but a little soft in detail in some sreas. Nothing that cant be fixed with a little work. I primed this with the ARV. The Sherman Mark 1 will be the vehicle on the trailer I think. Or- maybe I'll stick a bunch of German cannons on the back- I have an awesome photo of a DW hauling a bunch of Paks to a storage depot.

Here is my Bergetiger (P) from Dragon. This will be towing my Elephant below. I am still planning a small dio. I have to add the stowage but the weathering is almost complete. I still need to add graphite and some streaks here and there.

And here is the Elephant to go with the berge shwon above. All is nearly complete- this is after 4 sessions of filtters using various oils colors- reds, yellows, greens, blues, etc. I like the patina left from the filter treatment- it relly adds a depth of realism to the finish.
These are my 1st posts here- though I am an avid poster on WW2 Model Maker and Missing Lynx. I like the people here- not as stuffy as some sites can be.
Please take a look and let me know what you think- ALL comments welcomed!
Oh yeah- I know the ARV tracks are backwards on the rear on one side- but I am sure not everyone reads the text so we'll see
