I've been building this Mud Mover over at the Sherman Shop to prove what a real man drives to work. Just might get her up on her feet tomorrow. There's that color again Tony lee

Another nice one Tony....
There's a documented case where one of these or an M40 not sure fired at a Tiger coming up a road, it was on the side of the road with the gun pointing at the Tiger as it drove by....BANG blew the turret clean off.
Not sure about the range but it was in an ambush position, guess the Tiger never saw it.
Ouch!

Very neat big SPG there Tony! I suppose it was inevitable that more green (OD in this case) would be required on a build project of yours.

If I were a betting man I would say the Sturm T has the largest "Military" wise Chris. I think this is a trick question. You said "Commercial" and that means Wal-Mart and Sears Cheers Tony lee

WHOA!!! You are definitely on roll... bet your wife had to bring drinks and meals into your room to help with your long streak! Looking great... I am not too sure but I think its the one my uncle was assigned to when he was in the Army. Either M10 or M12... I am going to find out.

Added some fade effects and the left over parts: This shot shows the fade a lot better from above. What do you think? Better, Worse or Too much/Not enough? Thanks Tony lee

In my court huh Bill? Today I hit one right next to the foul line and snuck in a point. I took a day off from snorin paint fumes and corrected the error AFV Club made with the barrel of the M40 Big Shot. For scale it's a foot to short and needs 8.5mm added. One slice at the rear is 4.5mm wide and the one in the middle barrel band is 4mm wide. Example: My effort: I think one more thin film of filler will slick it right up. At least that little job is out of the way and it won't slow me down building the M40 when the time comes. Your serve Tex Tony lee
