I finally finished my Dragon Wagon - it only took 2.5 years from start to finish...

Very nice, I'm at about 1.5 years with my M1070, hoping to make bookends with that and my Dragon wagon

Well worth the wait, I'd say. Looks like you enjoyed building it. The Sherman may be a little too glossy. I note the reflection, on the turret.

It's not that glossy in reality - it is just a result of bright direct sunlight reflected from the smooth semi-gloss surface straight into the camer lens...
Also only the upper areas of the tank are so clean and semi-gloss - the lower parts of the hull and the suspension are much flatter (dusty).
Oh, and in fact the reason for this project to take so long was that I actually lost interest in it at some point... It was just a bit overwhelming and not that much fun anymore. I finished a few other models during this build, but this one was progressing very slowly...

Very nice! I still haven't started mine yet. I have three different tank transporters and I want to have a display case set up before I start on any of them so they will be protected. I plan on starting this as my first build of the three.

That's the only sane way to tackle a project of this size. Great work!
