This will be a welded hull. I don't feel like rounding off all the angles to make her look cast. The turrets are cast so it's kind of a hybrid.

I love the double-barrelled A.A. gun on the cupola. Nice touch!

Looks like a regular land battleship (or at least a destroyer) with all those guns & turrets ;D.

He heeeeeeeeeeeeee! :thumbsup:

I'm thinking it should have extra road wheels and extra-wide track on the left-hand side only, given the weight distribution.... ;)

I think you should add a 12.7mm MG for the commander to fire from the hatch...looks to be a bit under-armed... :rolleyes:

What kind of anti-infantry stuff?  Bed springs welded to the sides ala anti-panzerfaust?  How about some remote control .30 cal's for anti-infantry sweeping?   ;D

Well each crewmember is equipped with an individual weapon in the form of an automatic rifle or sub machinegun. The upper 1 inch cannons can depress this much

The sponson howitzer is designed with quite a bit of traverse and will fire canister

The main turret also has a coax machine gun.
For obstacles and mines the crews weld extra armor to the front and bottom.
Note the armored gunports and heavy side armor

"The sponson howitzer..."

That phrase alone is worth the price of admission!

You have some serious talent for that armor thing, Ron!
