I know less than nothing about Sherman's other than they're Green.

I like that you're DIY and using found stuff. Nice work.

No worries baby. I got Oddball, Moriority, and the Turk coming. I had to lose the fancy Speaker mount. They just bolted it to a Pre existing spare track mount bracket. So, I did that instead. Now I can start modifying the color and weathering it.

Ok, Now this is the look I'm going for. I'll add more weathering and dust to it when the decals arrive.
