I like it!  All it needs is Moriarty on the back deck exclaiming "No leaks!"

Well, since it's an unofficail build, the boys could have "liberated" a Pershing......

Sadly, mine has sat untouched for a while, victim of my IDF obsession. Maybe if I score some RR tracks?

thanks for the Positive Waves....! 

Always, baby!

Hi p38jl: I think it's great work.  Looks solid.  However I think your blue vision blocks and periscope heads are too stark.  What I try to do is to mimic what they would look like if one were to examine them from a distance -- basically very little light is reflected off of the blocks. I paint them gloss black and then am careful to tone down the glossiness with weathering.  For the blue to be as stark as you've painted yours, you're expressing that a ton of blue light is being reflected off the glass to the viewer's eye -- which I don't think is what you really want.  Hope this helps.

thanks, I might try that next time.. I get mixed reviews on how I do that.. some like it.. some don't.. what I did was paint on Testors Silver Chrome, in the square bottle, then paint on Tamiya clear blue over it.. trying to get a clear look as opposed to a blank look..  I'll give your version a try next time.. Thanks again,.,

At the bench last night, and I even worked on the Pershing. Wow.

A little detail painting, including cupola vision blocks.....I used Humbrol #105 green, with Micro Crystal Clear over them, to give a gloss. This was a new color for me, I usually use a medium blue....hmmm...

Some touch up of the wash blobs, dust and stowage, plus people, and of course a RR track base, and I can unofficially call this one done.

I think the next M26 will be a re-do of the one I did out of the box a couple of year ago, had so much fun on this one. Maybe late production, Korea.

Great builds guys! Truly amazing! So I guess we can call it a wrap. Right?
