Hey Brother, Just finished the Sherman Tank build. As I was putting it together toward the end, I had joined piece 22, then placed the treads on both sides. As I advanced your video, you recommended to put the treads on first, then join the tread sets with 22 so it doesn't bend or break. I thought to myself "Damn, that was a good idea..." anyway, I didn't break/bend anything, but it would have been easier if I had done it like your video. Good build though, and it looks great. Thanks for the video, and as always good luck, and good health to you and yours!
I took the upper track piece for both sides and i bent the second to last "track" piece 180 degrees back and the last track piece and bent it 180 forwards, which shortened it by two track links and made it look snug against the road wheels idler and drive sprocket
I actually had to cut off a couple of the tabs on the turret and turret sock because each had like 2 extra unnecessary support tabs that made it nightmare to put together. Ive noticed that ive had to do that to a couple models so far
I finished the tiger tank a while back, the weels and tracks were a bit tricky, but it was good. I'll have to look out for this one, iv almost finished my hubble space telescope. so I might order this one for after. great video man. keep it up. =)
i cant lie the video would be a lot more useful if you showed the next part you grabbed to give us some orientation instead of just cutting to the next part. this shit looks cool but i didnt really have fun making it lol
The Sherman was kwon as dangerous because if the ammo rack gets hit the inside of the tank pressurizes and the whole turret pops off and the crew inside get burned by hot melting metal it's slow and painful

Thanks! Helped me with building mine
You're welcome.

Nice!
this model has the better build design than other tanks in ME brand

how do you not break any parts?
As I was watching this video to see what I'm gonna have to do, I realized that I'm gonna have my patience strained a lot.

great video man. keep it up. =)
Thank you, and thanks for watching.
Could the turret rotate
The turret is fixed in place. I could probably be modified but I could not tell you how.
Ok, thanks for your reply.

i found this video with the intent of seeing if it was done with anything besides fingernails. Intrigued how in depth this goes
Some of Metal Earth's early models could have been done with little more than tweezers but they have gone past that point.
