| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 06-Feb-12 11:00 |  | | Views : 1322 | | I am a board member of the Arizona Military Museum. We have started interviewing veterans. One of them was a radio operator/gunner on B-24s. He trained in Yuma. One of the items he donated was this decal sheet. Pretty cool stuff. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 01-Feb-12 14:56 |  | | Views : 1372 | | A German halftrack. Between it and the Hetzer you can see the top of a Kubelwagen, a VW version of the Jeep. It was reissued as the "Thing" in the mid 70s. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 01-Feb-12 14:54 |  | | Views : 1397 | | The bad guys were there as well. This is a German Hetzer with a 75mm cannon. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 29-Nov-11 15:53 |  | | Views : 1449 | | This is my next long term project. Any guesses as to what it is? |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 29-Nov-11 13:48 |  | | Views : 1493 | | This must have fallen at one point and damaged the port side. Fortunately, the builder put these braces in the wing root so the plane was not too badly damaged. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 29-Nov-11 13:47 |  | | Views : 1614 | | 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. |

| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 29-Nov-11 13:36 |  | | Views : 1522 | | A few more of the Sherman. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 15-Nov-11 11:58 |  | | Views : 1493 | | Another view. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 15-Nov-11 10:58 |  | | Views : 1392 | | 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. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 15-Nov-11 09:15 |  | | Views : 1315 | | 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. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 01-Nov-11 14:45 |  | | Views : 1239 | | 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. |
| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 29-Aug-11 14:06 |  | | Views : 1408 | | Staring down the business end of the Sherman. |
