| 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. |

| In addition, some edges were rubbed with graphite to replicate worn edges of steel. This model is somewhat representative of an M4A2 Sherman that saw battle on Iwo Jima. I'll have additional photos later this week. |

| Absolutely amazing that out of a chunk of wood, bits and pieces this emerged |

| This model harks back to the days of WWII when almost all modeling, static, movable and flying was done with pine and card stock. Well done! |

| Beautifully crafted. The WOW factor on this one is off the chart. I once built a plastic kit of the Sherman that was not as realistic as this one, and most of us know that plastic kits have lots and lots of little details. This one has them all, hand crafted. JFB!!!!!! |

| Hear, hear....you built this tank. You did not assemble parts from a mold! |
