Hi!
I used the Sublan M26 Lego set, and I converted it to an M26E1. I added the Hydraoulic Pump, a longer gun barrerl, alot of Mashineguns, Tracks for more armor, and tools. What ya say?
Also, if anyone now, how do you add bushes?

i got that same lego set, i also got the panther one, without thinking i made the T26E1-1s and jagpanther instead of recreating the first recorded tank battle between the regular M26 and panther, i’m still kicking myself over that

M26E1 doesn’t have the tubes above it, only the T26E1-1. As for bushes, there are LEGO leaf pieces, put em together in a way that resembles a WT bush?
Very Nice! If you ever get into Models, Tamiya Models practically put themselves together if you shake the box hard enough.
If you want to really put some life into models Tamiya makes some of the best air brush paint and airbrush kits are a one time buy.
If you have a soldering iron, they make for great impact holes. One of my Corsairs fell and snapped a wing, now its wing is being shot off in a diorama by a 109 with a “hole” in its left wing.
Completely different theatres but past trauma lives through your works. Models are fantastic. They keep you from getting cooties too.

he did, the tank itself, the springs, and muzzle break are all the base set, the front track armor, the extra tools, the sandbags, and MGs are all his own stuff, i’m not saying he didn’t make his special, as the OG set comes with the armored wings, he just decided to not use them on his own version of the build
the M26E1, it just lacks the springs and uses a differently cannon, the T54 shaped brass casing but is otherwise comparable to the T15 cannon in Pen wise, but externally it has a smaller counterweight on the back and no springs to help elevation, although it one of those tanks that’s available for purchase once a year though

Ah man, I should order a model kit. It’s been too long. I used to love building Tamiya models. Their glue with the brush always worked so well. I remember building a some sort of turbo prop kit from them when I was in grade school.

Check Ebay! You’ll find some awesome deals. I recently got an F16CJ, Panther G, And an M1A2 Sepv2 for under 40$ each. They can get very expensive so patience is key. Some sellers offer Lots of several models, I’ve seen alot of Dora FW190s.
DO NOT BUY REVELL!!
Most of it is repackaged molds from the 90s and prior when they ate Monogram. Horrible fits and you’ll have to make… alterations… I learned the hardway building a Revell F14A, nothing lined up and the wings would just not cooperate to keep them adjustable. You live, you learn.
That experience is the only reason I got the F14D with the VX9 Paint… Redemption.

There’s a Tamiya P47M available right now on Ebay.
Looks the same as Lanovski’s, I might have to grab that. Those P47Ms are no joke and I adore them.

This is tuff, keep it up!
I’m really starting to like the lego style, but I don’t know which brands are better than others. Definitely share some brand experiences if you got any.
I used to work manufacturing, having a couple of those lego kits would help with insomnia and restlessness. No paint, no risk, no noise, just peace and production.
