I found this site with some really neat artwork of Sherman tanks. Not sure if you have seen this before.
Not to fret for us German armor fans, there are some nice pics of those too [}:)]
Nice find - Erock
Liked his works for a few years now Eric … have 4 of his prints hanging on the wall in my model room.
Thanks for thinking of me.
Harmon’s work is second to none!! (This from the guy who’s own work hangs next to his in the Patton Museum gift shop [:D])
Ron.
You have some art work hanging on the wall at the Patton Museum Ron?
That’s where I got my Harmon’s from.
Wow Ron if they hang yours next to his you must have some pretty impressive stuff.
Neat stuff, I like the Tigers.

Good ref dwgs there.
Thanks for sharing.
My work is in an 11 X14 inch format, usually of single vehicles which aren’t in a specific setting (like my influence Ewe Feist’s work, whom I met at the Museum once too… nice fellow, fun story to go with it if you’re ever interested). Retail at the gift shop on my work is about $6 I think. Something for the folks who think Harmon’s work is too expensive (which it isn’t!).
I also donated an original (Sherman M4A3E8) drawing to the museum. I’m thinking of doing a new edition, either an M3 Lee in North Africa or M5A1 Stuart ETO. Any preference guys and gals?
I do my own photography, then backdate the tank into a general background. I think Harmon references his own photography (?) as well as historical photos.
I’d do more drawings, but I don’t usually have a lot of time and my house is already packed full of old stuff that’s still laying around.
My latest projects are helping a friend with his book on tanker helmets (illustrating it) and finishing scaled drawings for my own book on the Massey-Harris Tank plant in Racine WI., where I grew up (walked through what was once the plant on the way to high school all my sophomore year… loved it!).[:p]
Ron.
Ron, my hat is off. I am always so impressed if someone can draw something enough like what’s it’s supposed to be to be recognized. Me I can’t draw a straight line with a T-square. I’d like to see some of your work someday.

Well now I can say I know two artistes … funny thing is they are both names Ron.
I’d be lucky if I could draw a box let alone anything that would be recognizable … quite a talent.
