I "painted" the tank with pastels using medium and light olive green to fade the paint, and charcoal and black for shadow effects. I also used rust and tan for weathering and aging the paint. The USMC, "ANN" and serial numbers are R.R. rub on letters. The turret number is hand painted.

The Sherman was painted with a spray can (Testors Olive Drab). The tracks were painted steel and then got a wash of black for the recesses, and a bit of rust in some areas.

I redid the mantlet and added cheek armor to the turret. Both are several sheets of cardstock laminated with white glue. The glue made the cards very pliable and then held their shape as the glue dried.

Staring down the business end of the Sherman.

One tooth needs to be added, but you can see where the tracks are separated.

The tools are removable until after painting.

The tracks are in several segments. There's a strip for the top and bottoms, and one going around the return roller and two for the front drive. I can remove them to paint, and then will glue them in place.

It took a bit of fitting, but I'm really happy with how the tracks fit around the drive wheel.

I also revised the bogie assemblies for the third time. This time most of the parts are laser cut. The tread skip up top, and the end pieces are folded paper.
