This is a Tamiya 1/48 scale M4 Sherman
There are many like it, but this one is mine
It built up very quickly; it took just one afternoon
But there was this annoying void above the track, so I fixed it
No stowage or tow cable was included, so I set off to make my own and added some details from paperclip and copper wire. The antenna was a stripped guitar string.
then, it was ready for paint! I used rattle can olive drab as a base, then handpainted the camo pattern and dry brushed to bring out detail and fade the paint. I glossed for decals, applied a wash, added some dirt, and sealed it all with a flat coat.

this was my first time suing link-and-length tracks and It took a few tries to get everything all together!
Ive decided I rather like 1/48 armor. Nice compact size, but large enough to still add detail. That, and its kinda cute. :P
