Hello and thanks for looking at my post for a start. I own a fairly new M26 and this being my first tank I want to make it my own and add my own touch to it. I wanted to try and start with the M26 because of the conversion that can be made to make it into a T26E4. The frontal armor and the spaced armor in the front seem pretty basic from a modeling standpoint and I feel would make the tank quite different. I recently built a 1/35 T26E4 from Hobby Boss and will be using this tank to get all of my measurements and references which i hope to sucessfully convert from 1/35 to 1/16th. My issue is that i have the creative ability of my 8 yr old daughter and have never taken on this type of a project. Im looking to you folks for ideas and how toos that can help me along my trip. I have scurried the internet looking for other conversions like this and have only come across two of them. One named "Aarons T26E4 (cant find the link right now) and another one that someone inherited project(cant find that link either sorry ). In "Aarons" build he seemed to use some type of plastic sheet to make the panels and a green type of putty to simulate the welds. I have aquired some scrap aliminum metal from my shop which i think would work unless you guys think the plastic sheet is better in which case can i get it at a basic hobby shop?? Also what is the green putty?? I look fwd to your guys sugesstions and help as lord knows it im gonna need it.

Thx

Nick
