Gentlemen!
Thank you both very much! Yes, we're almost there. Mr. Herman. I'm waiting on ETO to deliver the goods then I can wrap this up and do the final weathering. Carl, I'm glad you like it. Almost done, Doc.
regards,
Painless

Went over to the M36B1 tonight and did a much anticipated piece of detailing. It had taken a while to find cocktail sticks but the stained wood ( bamboo ) effect for the cleaning rods made the search worthwhile.
Heads up: These beautiful rear racks are soldered together so easy does it when you are assembling or detailing anything on them. Pics:

Great work on the cleaning rods (amonst other things) Painless :thumbup: I used the same approach on the rods for my KT build (i.e. bamboo skewers) and was planning to do similar on the M36 too -it's not coincidence it's synchronicity (apparently) :haha:

Good morning!
Hotte! These Sherman tanks are famed for their industrial appearance, covered with eye candy detail. It takes a lot of time but the end result is sooooo worth it.
Carl! That is one brave fellow standing behind the 90mm gun breech when the main gun is fired ( even using blanks ) Great shots of that cramped, equipment filled turret! Thanks, my Friend!
Doc Phibes! I agree completely. Minds warped by tank modeling think alike! ;o)
Soeren! Eddyk did a great job on that Rack for sure. I've been following your detail work on your 'Hunting Panther' and it has made your TD stand out as real.
regards,
Painless
