I could've sworn that you just said over 1000 parts for the tracks. Right??!! ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/8416/cCRZMc.gif) Progress is looking REALLY good on this Chris. You're pretty much building a real tank ....just in a smaller scale. lol Picture of him deciding which gun option to use. ![](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/m5gAAOSw2LBfjNNL/s-l1600.jpg) Great pic. Doesn't appear that extra armor plate did much good. RIP crew.

It doesn’t look like that Sherman burned, and definitely no apparent catastrophic explosion, so more than likely most of not all of the crew got out.

It's a lot of work, but I find it very gratifying to complete a set of tracks.

The tracks on this appear to be a build upon themselves with the part count so it must be a great feeling having them done. They look outstanding!

That is looking really good! It is still hard for me to wrap my head around the size of these 1/16th kits.
From your pictures, it looks like the hull is already textured. Is that the case, and if so, is it a good texture or will you retexture it?
