Thanks. I think, for the moment I will skip that.

I can provide detailed drawings and specs of all the US WWII/Early 1950s Heavy tank programs; just give me some time and I'll do it in a huuuuge US-mega thread

Excellent. Thankyou very much. I look forward to it.

And here it is, over in the WW2 forum.

So Monty, do you want me to try my hand at those Monsters?

Mark, I haven't seen so much info on those before. That is awesome! That makes me want to try them out...LOL... But it your gonna do them Monty no need for both of us to do them...LOL...

It's not as hard as you think:

------

"Jumbo Pershing": Take your normal Pershing icon, and change a pixel or two to represent the thicker more bulged turret and hull front.

----

"Super Pershing:" Take your normal Pershing Icon, and then lengthen the gun to be longer

------

M6 Heavy Tank , M6 with 90mm, and M6A2E1 = The hull is shared across all of these, and to get the M6 with 90mm, you just lengthen the gun, and delete the 37mm coaxial on the M6 turret.

For the M6A2E1; you'll need to do some work on teh turret, sadly.

------

The T29, T29E3, T30, and T34 all share the same basic hull and turret; the only difference really is perhaps a rearrangement of the engine deck louvers and the number and location of the turret hatches. You can simply lengthen or shorten the gun barrel length as needed.

EDIT:

I included my rough renditions of them in that link. Perhaps you can take a look at them and see what I'm talking about, and majorly improve on my crude renditions.

RecruitMonty · #37 May 20th, 2007, 07:07 PM

Your "crude" renditions are already better than the ones I knocked together from my side shots. I just blew some Pershings up. I will have to redo those using those icons and your rough copies.

Oragus, if you want to have a bash as well, then please do. I would love to see what you come up with. Could you perhaps work on the earlier heavy tank. The one with the massive turret. Thanks.

You referring to the M6 & M6A2? I will have to do to both. That is kinda how I work. I start with the base model and work from there. No problem, I will put that on the list for sure.

I can try my hand at all of them...LOL...If its wanted. scribble, scribble on the list....lol..

I have seen some of those big dawgs. I think I may even have some pics from Fort Knox KY now that I think about it. The Patton Armor Museum has a couple of those if my memory serves me right. I'll have to dig around for them. If I find them. I'll post them.

RecruitMonty · #39 May 22nd, 2007, 01:48 PM

Great. The M6 and M6A2 are indeed the models I was refering to. I have re-done the others and am now working on redoing the winter icons as well.

Go to page five of this thread to pick up the new USA Heavies. Thankyou for your understanding.

~~Original Message:~~
Once again I would like to thank everyone for their interest and in particular Mark and Oragus for their help with this project. I would also like to take this chance to add another semi-fictional model, the M104, into the mix. I think you can guess which vehicles this tank has gotten its inspiration from.
