Well done, Sr. Marques! Shermans were "uparmored" in all kinds of ways, and here's a great example in 1/16. Gee, does the extra weight tax the motors?

I kept thinking that one might use some kind of putty for the "concrete." But your idea to use balsa wood makes sense, as it can be shaped and even roughened up to look like concrete when painted. Good thinking, Sr. Marques!

Some more pics about my building. I used Pershing Heng Long sprockets...a simple servo recoil and up/down main gun.

It looks as if you were able to use the tracks from the kit. Do I see that correctly?
