A quick new project. Restoring this solid balsa B-26 I bought on eBay quite a while ago. Whoever made this did a really nice job, many, many years ago. |

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

| 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!!!!!! |

| 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! |

| Superb, magnificent, wonderful! |

| I approached the weathering to tell a story of the tank. The worn paint shows it was "rode hard and put up wet.". This tank lost at least one track to a mine. It was recovered and saw a lot of action. The barrel still has soot at its muzzle. There is a dark streak on the front glacis where the marines' boots wore the paint finish. There are rust streaks at some locations. All to try and tell a story. |

Another view. |

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

| Really really good!! - you kind of forget it's made of wood & card. |

| 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. |

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. |
