good work on the tools Johnny

Thanks. Original parts were useless again. I had to adjust a repaint every single tool.

I know the feeling well

but that's OK! Family time is more important than anything and the kids are only young once. They grow up WAY too fast so cherish every moment with them now before they leave the nest.
By the way - your details on the Sherman look FANTASTIC!!!!

Another progress

That is really nice. I like the ammo boxes, extra drive teeth, and tarps all hap-hazardly tied down. Looks like something a GI would do in the dark after some NCO yelled at him.
Those ammo boxes are very good.

Dear Johnny7:
Are the ammo boxes card stock or wood? If card stock did you just cut strips and construct like wood? I love to see models that are not on parade but in the field with junk on them gives the machine character.
thanks,
Miles

It's balsa wood. I think it's 0,6 mm thick. I glued it to original paper parts and then just cut.

Dear Johnny7:
Nice, Was the paper model ammo box part of the Kit? or where did you find it?
Thanks,
Miles

Yes, the ammo box was part of original kit. There are two boxes.
