I finaly got around to looking this one up.
You did a splendid job, correct in every detail I can spot. The tracks were a lucky find, they do indeed match the real ones quite well, and they show that it is more than just a Sherman with a new upper.
Did you scratch build the sproket or is it a robot one dressed up?<br type=''_moz'' />

Hunnicutts "Firepower " book had a lot of photos of the T1E2. I was originally going to do the M6, but that copula turret on the main turret of the T1E2 changed my mind. I already had a latex mold for it....it's the same turret that was on the M3 Lee turret. Also, I couldn't resist the AA mg on the rear of the turret. The tracks look better painted. The sprockets are dress ups. The reason each has two dummy sprockets on one side is because I screwed up the spacing putting them on and gluing them with CA.
Hey ...... I need some info about the hull and turret texture. Zoom in on those photos and tell me....does it look like a casting finish or not? I tried a new way to try and do a cast hull. I sprayed the hull and turret with rattle can primer and poured sugar all over it. After it dried, I brushed off the loose excess, rubbed it down lightly and sprayed it again to seal it, that It was easier than doing that finish using salt like I did on my T-28.
I think it turned out sweet.......What do you think?
Be honest, don't sugar coat your comments.
