@ San Diego tank battle day last month..

My HL Sherman. Driveline and internals by me. Accessories and paint done by dgsselkirk in trade of services (I build the guts of his tanks, he paints mine...)



Volume control has not been fitted at the time of this image... (See the two ears out to the upper left of the speaker for mounting the pot.
Yes I somehow shoved a TK-60S in there with a 64mm speaker and allowed a large 2S battery to fit. And no. I don't normally do smokers in my tanks.

Thanks. You all are bad influences. I am already ready for my next tank project. So many choices… gotta get them all. The wife is going to kill me though. Ha!

Welcome to financial ruin. Your own bank account helps, and telling her you have had it ages, it’s been in the loft/basement for a while un-used sometimes works, when buying new. You have just kept it in the box for safety. Although my wife does know the difference between my Challenger and Abram, and the T72 due to the colours.

Now this is Desert Power!

Stunning pictures. There could be a couple of Tigers waiting to pounce.

A few shots while we are camping at Doran Beach, Bodega Bay CA. Lighting was great and as we are here during the week, the beach isn’t full. And it’s foggy, usually it’s not full till the temps get warmer inland.

You can almost feel the cold morning desert air, chilling the bones of the crew. Beautiful photographs.

So your tank came. That didn't take too long. I hope you're enjoying it.

Happy 4th of July,

M4A3E8 Sherman; a conversion using a Heng Long Sherman and Rich Johnson's HVSS suspension kit and his T23 Turret. See his thread for more.

Welcome (back?). Love the landscape, as well as the tanks. There’s some recent posts regarding the Challenger you might find interesting.

[Meter Rat]

I have not been on here for some considerable time, due to lack of time. I have not been idle and have built a 1:1 house, and when time permitted, worked slowly at my Challenger 2. I still need to do some weathering and a final Matt cote. It is fitted with metal tracks and wheel set, amber flashing light, servo recoil, greater elevation and depreciation of the gun, cannon smoke and flash, turn indicators and brake lights. It is, however a bit of a work bench Queen and seems to have a new problem each time it is used. It represents callsign 32 of the A Sqn Scot Dragoon Guards. While not 100% accurate, it is individual. I present it here with my Abrams patrolling our local beach.

CHECK YOUR FIRE!!!! When your teammate is more dangerous then your adversary. Look closely at the red lights. Here all three of us were hit by a teammate firing from behind and threw us. Not just once, but twice!!

M60A2 "Starship". The turret and some upper hull detail parts are by DKLMRC and the lower hull and running gear is by TongDe.

I tested it with this. It loaded in the regular way same as usual. The subject is an unfinished Sherman destined to become an M4A3E8.

Seems the ability to load photos is gone?

Yes something happened recently. But I've found when loading from Imgur I uncheck the box "Retrieve remote file and reference locally". and paste the direct URL, it does work. Something changed but thats how I worked around it. It changed about a week or so ago.

Everyone needs at least one M4! My guy started out as an unpainted Mato Sherman. Forgebear makes decals for this particular tank, which is on display at a museum in France, I believe:



Looked like an Olive Green paint, so I started there:


Dirtied it up and took it with me to the desert for some pics:




I didn't have the nerve to duplicate this true weathering!
