28mm sherman

Picked this up Saturday from http://www.facebook.com/TabletopNation . Which has just set up near me,great venue and handy for a game.

The Sherman is from warlord and I'm going to use it for my Canadian company when we play disposable heroes rule set. Markings are hand painted (as i didn't have the decals) and the commander is a British officer from Northstar ww2 range cut in half. Really enjoyed painting this up and made a change from 15mm tanks.

A friend of mine (mark,http://www.mbdecorating.co.uk/index.html) saved some a couple of off cuts of celotex insulation boards from a skip. These off cuts were ideal for a ridge line that we could use not only in our Guildford court house game but other games.
