I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Might want to add a counter-weight to the back of that turret though ;)

Heck, that's one big gun!  Looks large in the drawing, but the model really does it justice! :blink: :blink: :blink:

That's incredible.  Can see it poised on a seaside cliff and its crew (just for kicks) taking out an entire destroyer anchored out at sea with a single shot!

Would it tip over if the turret was rotated to 90 or 270 degrees?

Answering to some of you. -_- -_-

Besides this site http://members.tripod.com/Strv102r/strv_2000.htm for this building I have used the design of CV90120 http://www.army-technology.com/projects/cv90/cv9010.html as a starting point.

CV90120 is armed with a 120mm high pressure gun, does not need counterweight and can fire sideways; it weights less than 30 ton. Strv 2000 I would say that weights about 60 ton and the recoil run IMO is fairly long, so I assume it can cope with recoil force of its huge 140mm gun.
:thumbsup:

What is your opinion?

My opinion is this tank rocks!

You know it looks like one of the tank profiles from the colonial marines technical manual.
