Looks much better now with the tracks and on the base. Awesome work.
I was using those AFV tracks but they are so damn fragile that they would break in two when removing from the sprue. They could have made the gates small so the tracks could be snipped of the sprue and cleaned without breaking.
Well glad to see you had no major issues with them.

Thank you all for the comments. I am glad to see you like it.
@rob: After I finished yesterday, I must say the AFV tracks will definitely not my favorites. Not only that these little peaces break, when you cut of. Wenn I put the tracks on the tank, they broke, too. And after I painted them, the plastic was very soft and felt appart... 😭
Would be great, if these tracks were made of metal. 😁

Great job, and thanks for the feedback on the tracks, I was wondering whether to get them or some other for my shermie. I love the base, it adds a lot to the overall realism  |

bullardino: It was really hard to find some tracks for the M51 Super Sherman. I think these are the only one, which fits on my model. So I have now three types of Sherman tracks. The original `ruber type`, a wrong one (which is too small) and the AFV club tracks. One the T-72 model, which I build at the moment, I use the Friul metal tracks. These are really great and very good to assemble/ paint. And they look very realistic.

I just want to show you some detail pics. I added some plants to the grassy landscape, in order to make it less monotonous. I used the 'laser minis' from NOCH. These are laser cut paper plants, which are already painted/ printed. You only bring it in the right shape and glue it on the base. That`s it. I just modified the color of it with the help of some pigments...  5DMKII_18535 von mad_airbrush auf Flickr  5DMKII_18539 von mad_airbrush auf Flickr  5DMKII_18541 von mad_airbrush auf Flickr  5DMKII_18549 von mad_airbrush auf Flickr |
