I finally got back on this project I started a while back. I'm using a Forces of Valor Sherman tank chassis for this conversion. These Madills should be pretty easy to recognize if you watch that dumbass show Axmen. Working on the the rear deck and platform over the engine compartment. Still have a ways to go though. It should be a neat model when its completed.    Cheers: Bill |

Bill,
That is pretty cool. What scale is the tank body? 1/35th? I have been looking for a 1/25th tank to do the same things with .

Its a 1/25th remote control tank chassis by an outfit called Forces of Valor. its no longer motorized since i had to rip part of the electronics and gears out. the suspension fully operates though so it will have the proper kneel down attitude when the tower is down like the real ones.

Got a little more detailing done tonight on the engine deck. Also got the fuel tank finished and added the hydraulic oil and water tank under the decking.    Cheers: Bill |

Cool build!
I'm guessing that you don't really care for "Axmen".

Gator I got this one off Ebay, you might be able to pick one up on Amazon too. Jimb, the first season was great, after that its a bunch of theatrical crap.

That is really beginning to take shape. Looking good as well.
Oh I got a line on a 1/25th tank, and I will also get one of the ones you have as well.
Be Well
