Its Mighty! ( and mighty inspirational....mwhahahaha.)

I know that a tank has a limited amount of space on the outside to stow gear, but isn't it a little dangerous putting jerricans on the front glacis like that?  That's likely to be a prime target area for opposing gunners.

Yes, but in Texas, they like things that go BOOM!

This baby looks every bit the business, x100!

Those are water cans Ussen ain't that dumb

I absolutely love this to bits, it realy has that "bigger than you" Texasness about it. That IS a word, I have just used it so it must be
The one little detail that really makes me chuckle is the use of a spare drill chuck as the muzzle-brake on the main gun. Pure inspiration.
Well done that man.

I beg your pardon ,sir, but the "official paperwork" says those are "water cans" 'sides who the heck would store their whiskey where it might get shot, that's where the beer goes
Anyway she is pretty much done

This baby's like the tank from Sahara...on steroids!!!

Ron, you've done some excellent work and you really hit a sweet spot with the wethering. Just enough to look convincing!

Is that really a drill chuck masquerading as a muzzle brake? Talk about original use of materials!

I think a Whiffie nod may be in your future.

I don't know how it works but I like it!  Top notch build 

[Scooterman]

Oh I can't WAIT to see this!!!!!     



One very small nitpick, Ron.  Vision blocks.  Need to paint those babies up.  Clear blue or something.

But hey, YFM!!!   

[sotoolslinger]

Not nitpicking at all bubba I had that question in my mind but I did not know if they were supposed to be glass or if they had armored plates over them.

The tank looks great! Nice job on everything, including the vinyl tracks - they look real!
Everything is bigger in Texas, but that tank must be pretty cramped inside!
