Mr. Surfacer on upper hull for cast effect

[Rebellion13]

The rear engine cover has horizontal lines x3 that are molded into the rear engine grill and appear that they are flat bar stock, but they are actually weld beads, I will be attempting to replicate that

[Rebellion13]

grill is sort of finished

A little update, installed the 4:1 gears and tracks. Next is adding details to the upper.

Oh, those enclosed Taigen gearboxes must be nice. And the duckbill tracks add a look I find menacing and, so, interesting. Keep at it!

Thanks, I do like the tracks too.

A bit of an update, first pic needs no explanation. Second pic, what better way to simulate wood then actual wood. I used a combination of Balsa, Bass, and wooden skewers.

Love the wood work! I've modified a tool or two but never considered real wood. Keep up the work, can't wait to see this Sherman finished.

The woodwork is very slick mate.
It’s little things like that which can add so much sometimes

[Rebellion13]

Thank you, no updates, getting my house in order to put it on the market. I also think carving the wood handles just adds to the build. Hopefully I can get back to the project soon

Cheers

You are certainly right about the wood tool handles! I'd bet your house will sell quickly, and I wish you great success in settling into a new place.
