Texas Dancer (RoT tank 2)

Well since it is going to have 6 SETS of roadwheels

I think that will be sufficient

6 sets per side?

Two tracks per side, like the T28 Super Heavy Tank?

The muzzle brake looks wild!

3 sets (12 road wheels) per side, double tracks

Thanks y'all and thanks Frank but I have all the Sherman I need
Jsc, there was actually an arms manufacturer in Texas during the War of Northern Aggression.
JH Dance and Brothers

As a damn furriner from that Germanyland I must say it was the War of Secession!

The tank is awesome though.

I see, I thought it looked a bit wide.

Thanks y'all

Yep, see, double wide fenders

Also needed intake, exhaust and radiator

Man I'm wishing I'd bought stock in Bondo!

Nice start, Ron! I'm watching with great interest!

This just kills me, Ron! You could have just used a block of wood but nooooo, you had to bury the plastic under a mountain of putty!

sotoolslinger · May 30, 2011, 06:46:30 AM

Hey someone has to keep the putty manufacturers in business

Almost ready for some bogies and fenders

The bustle box is just stuck on with blue tac right now.

A bit too organic for my taste, but otherwise a very nice build.

Wow, Powerfull the elements change of place to protect the crew.

sotoolslinger · May 31, 2011, 11:46:24 AM

Thanks y'all

Have some tracks and fenders

West Texas camo, or shall it have East Texas JAWS scheme?

THis baby looks like a West Texas tank....fast and out in the open....finally, a set of running gear that can handle lechuguilla!

Designed by Freddy Porsche* of Neu-Braunfels, Texas I take it?

* To whom it may concern, yes, I'm aware that Porsche was Bohemian and that the name has Slav rather than German origins.

That's actually another avenue for Toolslinger. The very large German and Czech population in Texas lends itself to a few germanic Texas Republic whifs....

I'm considering a few of my own. I think Toolslinger needs a foe. Who better than the UNIR (United Nation of Indian Republics) to the north in Oklahoma? They could call on old ties to the French and English for base materials.....

Now how best to mount full auto bow and arrows?

(BTW, I'm Cherokee, so no offense is intended towards Native Americans.)
