    I love seeing builds of utility type vehicles. They're a nice change of pace and the industrial-military combination always results in a ton of cool detail to look at. All that's to say, great build :)

    Building model tanks is so much fun. And yes, those multi-part tracks are quite a chore.

    Woohoo, welcome back, been missing you. This is a cute build. Really like how the welding tanks turned out, and the chipping/weathering overall is nicely in scale.

    I remember seeing part of that model take shape on the Model Officers 48 hour Build in which I participated as an observor but now I see it in its entirity I'd have to say you did an excellent job. So well done you.

    Very Nice!! Well done!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Funny coincidence, as I was down at my favorite hobby shop, today, I happened to pick this model up, and check it out, but unfortunately, I ignored the inner voice saying buy it, and sadly, did not purchase it..😢. On track part, you were actually very wise to purchase aftermarket tracks. The tracks on the Takom M3 series, in my opinion aren't that great, and I had issues with them in the past. Those looked like Master Club tracks you were using!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

    They are master club tracks but they are difficult to get a hold of here in Canada. I used them as a reference to 3D design ones I can print in the future. I want to do a USMC Sherman on Iwo Jima this year
