Scratch built my 55gallon wading trunks months ago but never got around to weathering her. Here it is.
I am also looking for a name for this tank. I understand they selected names that began with the same first letter as their company. How many alphabets deep do they go? A, B, C.... L?

I think I'm going to use a knife to chip some of the wood panel and paint it wood to simulate some wear and tear. I don't think a tank could be loaded and unloaded off a landing craft, drive through a combat zone hazards, bullets and shells whizzing around and men climbing in and out all day without getting a small ding in the wooden panels. What do you think?

Looks great. I agree that the sand bags look oversized, almost like king size pillows. I don't know about WW2 sand bag sizes, but modern sandbags are about the size of a small travel pillow and are quite heavy when full.
