Razzie, Gino and Roy have given me some excellent advice, they're only trying to help out. Still I love what you doing here and hope you keep going with the WiP, maybe it doesn't fit that well with an US Army prototype but I'd love to copy your techniques on a rusty Soviet T-34 or a Japanese tank on some island in the Pacific rusting out from all the salty air.

Your build is definitely looking great. I just ordered the Hobby Boss T26E4 Pilot #1, the (in)famous Super Pershing. I hope to build that one and then I'd like to convert T26E4 Late Production model to an M26E1 (which may be a little beyond my skills!).
qcarrI'm very interested in these Hobby Boss T26E4 kits
Thank you,i was also only intrested in this type not and i was not aware there where more pilots then tanks on this one.
But im glad that i have you on board,at least 2 fans :)
The end is still far away and my project is still not finish....
Just drill those holes on those engine hatches.
1/4 when wrong :((lucky i still have putty to fix it)
Close up!! of a small weathering(not for insensitive viewers)
Very nice job, Razzie! I'm very interested in these Hobby Boss T26E4 kits and I'm glad you're sharing your build. I also like the weathering you've done and this is probably what this particular tank looked like after it was parked in the motor pool and the Armor Board was testing the "production" T26E4s.
Thanks for sharing, and I'll be following your progress!

HeavyArty Razzie43 Who is that guy?(GINO??)hehe Hey Gino..no hard feelings drink a beer from Belgium (Trappist Rochefort nr10) OK?? No idea what all that is about. Build it however you like, I really don't care. Just adding a little historical perspective for those of us who do build realistic representations.

GameraAs a guy who builds mostly pristine tanks with a little mud I could learn a lot from you. Add Quote to your Post
Roy - Thanks for the clarification. Even more reason for it not to be looking like that.
Gino: Pilot #1 was the one that was sent to the ETO and was recognizable by its circular, split loader's hatch and no pistol port. Pilot #2 remained stateside to be the template for the T26E4 production series.
But I agree with you about the worn out look-- artistically very pleasing. But no vehicle in the development line would be allowed to deteriorate like that nor get as beat up either.
Maybe the weathering is a little overdone but I like what you've got here. As a guy who builds mostly pristine tanks with a little mud I could learn a lot from you.
The paint effects look nice and are very artistic, but unless you are representing a hulk that has been sitting out in the weather for decades, it is not accurate for the M26E4 Pilot #2 tank. This vehicle was a test vehicle that was built on a new hull with a new, upgraded 90mm main gun. It was all freshly painted before it was sent to Europe for trials in late March of 1945. It was only involved in 3 actions in April '45 before Germany surrendered. It was never in that bad of shape and was left in Europe when the war ended. It was last seen in a scrap yard in Germany awaiting the cutting torch.
RX7850 That's looking really good. I'm now seriously contemplating using Vallejo paints for my current project, especially if they are more user friendly. Looking forward to seeing it done.

Thank you,but for a worn effect(hairspray technique) you still need tamiya.
@Gmorrison,hehe you the first guy it notice my nickname\avatar.
For the moment im trying to wire those hatches above the engine.
Tintin fan!
Thats a very nice model.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I love your color modulation. I had to look over it three times before I noticed it. Well done! You made that look perfectly natural.
Your effects are top notch and you have an obvious command of your techniques.
This is really good stuff!! :D

Hi modellers,when i start on this one,i realise to need to read those reviews on AMPS.
3 small things to get a better fit;Driving wheels are to wide,engine parts of driving wheels are to wide,exhaust pipe was a hell to fit inside.Open Gaps on the hull with that exhaustpipes!
some extra parts i wired it
wired the hatch on side to open/close(and commander hatch)
