Inspires one to build a Sherman!
Jan 3 2011
By A. King
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great collection of photos and description of how several diverse Sherman models/dioramas were created. Impressive collection of Sherman model photos in the last portion of the book. Worth purchasing by anyone modeling armored vehicles, WWII or other as the techniques are universal. A great way to learn the history of the Sherman tank and the evolution of armor over the past 60 years. Until now, I've always modeled WWII German armor but now look forward to "switching sides" and making a US Army WWII M4A3E2 Sherman assault tank. Inspirational book, every modeler should add it to their collection.

Building and Detailing Realistic Sherman Tanks (Finescale Modeler Books)
Jan 2 2011
By Jeffrey Derosa
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having read two articles is Fine Scale Modeler(FSM) by Jim Wechsler I had an idea what to expect as far as his model building and writing style. As with the FSM articles I was not disappointed in his book. The book was very well written and packed full of illustrations of 'how to' and finished models. I found Mr. Wechsler's step by step 'how to' illustrations and text to be informative and well written. He guides the reader through several 1/35 Sherman projects from beginner to advanced. One item I particular appreciated was a well documented list of after market products used on the model. This book will not make you an expert on the Sherman tank (and it does not claim to) but certainly helped me appreciate the Sherman tank. Mr. Wechsler on the other hand seems to be a Sherman expert with a passion for the vehicle that shows in his finished model gallery. In fact my only complaint with the book is a good majority of it is taken up by the finished model gallery. These pictures were interesting to look at and admire but did not do anything to sharpen my skills at modeling. All in all I believe this is a fine book and good investment for the money. I have been modeling on and off for about 12 years with an emphasis on modern 1/35 scale vehicles, and found his techniques well thought out and explained. Like I said for the money a good investment, if for nothing else to see his amazing Sherman gallery.

The author attempted to build every single variant in every theater and army that the sherman served with. The fact that he built some 50-60 tanks and is still missing some goes to show you how widespread sherman use has been worldwide. Highly recommended, well researced with some building suggestions to boot. Really nice book.
