In the "Not big, not german " catagory...

Almost completed the T26 Built and added the Modelkasten tracks.
. Did some weathering.



I cut off the shovel blade and made another one from metal from a Barq's Root Beer Can #:-) Did a little scratch building in the turret near the open hatch, based on pics I found of a T26 interior. Would have done more, but the turret was already together when I decided to leave one of the Hatches open. Those are supposed to be shells in their holders.




Needs a shot of dull cote still. Going to add a bit of stowage like a couple of bed rolls and maybe a wooden box.

So... This is my latest attempt at a model #:-) I have enjoyed the build, and have tried a number of new things with it

Very nice job. I like it - you don't see many of these.
I like the paint job, the weathering is nice. I would give a touch of weathering to the stars. They seem a bit bright and out of place.

Great job.

Beautiful work of art!!!! I watched Sel work on this whilst I sat at my computer...and although I'm not much into modeling, the painstaking effort he went into doing this tank for me is unbelievable. The track the model came with (in the box) were too tight, so we got metal casting..and he painstakingly created each link by link. Then fitted them onto the model. If he goes blind from this project, I know whom to blame.. the happy folk at Armorama.

LOL

That's very nice !
I'll probably get myself one...

Very nice Sel. This is a kit you don't see every day. The more I look at it the more I like it. Be sure to send us pictures of it with the dull coat and extra storage.

I`m not a big russian armor fan but this one might change my mind on that point..

I really love the vehicle it looks superb. Great paintjob, good weathering, And with a dullcoat and some stowage on the rear it will be even more beautifull.

You have really done a good job here... and not only that it`s a great gift to missus selrach
Bravo have a heineken

Good paint job and weathering Sel! The tools and the sag of the tracks look great also.

Another jackpot model. Sel, you've really got the gift for model painting. Your brushwork (as usual) is just superb. Edge highlighting, the tracks, interior shot, THE TOOLS---just really great stuff here. Interesting subject also.

Thank goodness you have given up the old wrestling tights for a bottle of glue, some paint, and more time with Mrs. El Diablo

Really well done, just another great job!!!

Ok... where'd the cat come from? There was not a picture with a cat on the tank when I saw those pics originally. Did you do that just to make me think I'm going crazy Sel? I mean.. really! And.. and.. is that cat really in scale?! I think not! I admit.. the tank is the cat's meow... but that cat.. well. All I can say is....

The cat's outta the bag now!

Looking damn awesome. Herr von Selrach, El Diablo Loco SOmething something something.

I always like the way you dry brush your models, they looked very convincing and relasitc.

The cat is huge. must be one of those huge fat cat!!!!!

Good work, sel!

Nice work

Damn! Another one of those ugly tanks..... Super duper job. The weathering makes it look like it's made of metal. Oh I guess the cat is a rendition of "Morris" the VMI barracks cat...and yes, he was that big. You'ld be too if you had 1200 guys taking care of you

Sel--Great job! Those tracks look great. How were they to build in your opinion?

Sel, terrific job. I just love these "off-color" tanks. Great green! Very nice tracks too!
