I could've sworn that you just said over 1000 parts for the tracks. Right??!!  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.  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?

The most obvious issues with large scale kits...they fill up or won't fit in the paint booth. She is looking great!!
