| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 13-Nov-10 09:12 |  | | Views : 659 | | Profile of the tank. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 13-Nov-10 09:12 |  | | Views : 704 | | Turret with the commader's hatch in place. Still some details to add to the turret and hatch. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 13-Nov-10 09:09 |  | | Views : 656 | | The turret is sitting on the hull. The paper cutout is from a book I am using to correct shape and size errors. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 13-Nov-10 09:08 |  | | Views : 667 | | The other side of the turret with the fillet in place. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 13-Nov-10 09:07 |  | | Views : 650 | | The turret was a solid piece of pine, rough cut to shape. It also sat too squat, so I added some basswood to the bottom. The bustle in the back left a wedge shaped gap that needed filling. You can see the fillet I made below the turret. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 13-Nov-10 09:05 |  | | Views : 740 | | Now correctly fitted. I'm trying to fit all the parts as closely as possible so very little filler will be used. So far, so good. The top of the piece of wood will need to be planed down to match the hull top. |

| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 13-Nov-10 09:04 |  | | Views : 681 | | I assembled the hull and am working on the hull face. The angled piece is upside down to show where I had to carve away wood to match the correct angle. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 13-Nov-10 09:02 |  | | Views : 692 | | I redid the hull sides out of basswood to more correctly match the real tank profile. The sponsons (the hull that sits above the tracks) seemed correct in length and width, but were too squat, so I added some basswood to their bottoms. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 12-Nov-10 14:58 |  | | Views : 745 | | The Sterling P-26 took a dive. Long story. So I am building the wood kit of an M-4 Sherman that dates to the mid 1940s. The scale is 1/2" to the foot or 1/24 scale. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 12-Nov-10 14:57 |  | | Views : 794 | | Behind the spray booth is my own personal hobby store. Fortunately it is all paid for. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 12-Nov-10 14:56 |  | | Views : 806 | | The 40mm Bofors under glass and the F9F Panther awaiting some modifications. When my youngest moved back, all this went to storage. Now it is out again ready to be used. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 12-Nov-10 14:54 |  | | Views : 888 | | More of the room. The build area. |
