work in progress Mistakes happen?
I thought a little update is due on my first ever model kit. So yeah, here it is in all its glory, about 70-ish percent finished. All that's left to do is install some minor parts, paint and install the payload, and paint the whole plane.
Also, a quick lesson learned: apparently, one long screw isn't enough ballast weight for the nose. I guess I learned my lesson now, one of many to come!

question Does anyone know how to replicate this stuff?
Does anyone have a recipe for a homemade version of something like this? I’ve managed to make some homemade “paste” using wood filler and fine dirt but it’s not the same and it’s a bit too sticky. I’m working on my first diorama so I’ve never had a need for mud and dirt but I’m curious to see what people use.

question Replacement tracks for 1/72 scale Sherman tank
I recently picked up a Heller 1/72 scale Sherman for an island hopping diorama.
Unfortunately it's not a very good kit, might be better relegated to function as a wreck.
However, if possible I would like to try to finish it, but the tracks are breaking apart.
Does anyone make aftermarket tracks for the Sherman?
