Love the SPG. It totally looks feasible.

The SPG is super, very 'Diana'ish. The M1 looks reminiscent of the newer versions of the Leopard.

Thanks for sharing.

Yikes, looks a shade top heavy (and not in a good way

)

I wonder if its meant to be SciFi? Its quite well made - the attention to detail such as the ejection chutes is hight but I agree, its rather top heavy.

That Abrams makes me think of a more sleek version of the "big turret" CATTB vehicle. I'm not generally a fan of the trend towards "Would you like a little more turret with that hull?" but I like how he modeled the turret face.

The SP gun seems like a logical design that might be a worthy contender to replace the M109. Given the great internecine battle that resulted in the cancellation of both the Crusader and the NLOS-C, I have a feeling such "logical" solutions are not in vogue at present. $:-\$

The SPG is almost Gerry Anderson-esque.

Why the oversized turret on the Abrams?

I didn't think crazy-paving came into vogue till much later than 1945
