A couple of weeks ago I wrote up a review here on Track-Link of the Legend Sherman III conversion set (LF 1096). I really liked the set and couldn’t wait to start on it. So I thought, why not do a blog to show how the build-up comes together? So here it is. Up Next: What items am I going to use?

Introduction Chapter 1 - What items am I going to use? Chapter 2 - Lower Hull Chapter 3 - The Upper Hull Chapter 4 - The Front Fenders Chapter 5 - The Sand Skirts Chapter 6 - Painting the Lower Hull Chapter 7 - Weathering the Lower Hull Chapter 8 - Those Pesky Front Fenders – Part Deux Chapter 9 - The Suspension Chapter 10 - Front Hull Details Chapter 11 - Rear Hull Details Chapter 12 - The Pioneer Tools Chapter 13 - The Turret Chapter 14 - Painting - Part 1 Chapter 15 - Painting - Part 2 Chapter 16 - Painting - Part 3 Chapter 17 - Painting - Section 4 Chapter 18 - Dry Brushing Chapter 19 - Dry Transfers Chapter 20 - Detail Painting Chapter 21 - Weathering Chapter 22 - Just the Tracks Maam Chapter 23 - Please Maam, Just the Tracks Chapter 24 - Stow it Chapter 25 - The Crew Chapter 26 - All Together Now Chapter 27 - Well, isnt that special Chapter 28 - The Base - Part 1 Chapter 29 -The Base - Part 2 Chapter 30 - Final Assembly Chapter 31 - Perspective

Chapter 31 - PerspectiveSep 25, 2005
I close this blog with a little summary. The photo included in this chapter has the Sherman III that I just completed and my Chilean Army M-60 HVMS Sherman (see the Gallery/Chile section).

These tanks are the bookmarks on the long career of the Sherman tank. The Sherman III in this blog represents one of the first Shermans to enter service in late 1942. The Chilean Sherman was probably the last fighting Sherman in active service circa 2002 (there are still many Sherman based utility vehicles in service). So these tanks show the beginning and the end of the Sherman and its long 60 year active history.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed writing this blog and building this model. Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions and input. Special thanks to our webmaster, Paul, for sending me the Legend set to review.
