More detail work and a coat of paint to even things out. Recently added is the tow cable made from nylon string and the end pieces from the Tamiya Pershing. Of course, I then realized I forgot to put on the spare track blocks on the rear of the hull. So far so good on the finer detail parts, I added the locking pins to the filler caps. I misplaced my small chain though. Maybe 'll find it next weekend.

It's not complete until you have the words "In The Mood" on both sides of the hull!
Other than that, I have always like the black over green camo for US tanks.
Looks good.

Surface details 95% complete. Added Schumo brush guards to hatches and applied the appropriate decals and markings. I used a circle cutter and Tamiya tape to make the circle around the US insignia. Next step is weathering and I have begun with a basic wash using acrylic paint. Once this is done I will add battle damage and begin oil washes for spills and paint chips.

Now all it needs is a hedgerow cutter!

I know, but you have to admit it would be unique.

Great looking Sherman, but it doesn't seem fair, all the other tanks are so small.
