OO, OOO,
Thanks for your heartfelt sympathy!
Well, there are lots of replies pressed into one:
Bilbirk, starting with you, since you are the closest to the quick reply box, My M32 is a converted tank(most recovery tanks were converted from outmoded tanks) it used to be a Sherman. It has a crane mounted on it, plus all the stuff that a travelling mechanic needs. It is used for pulled wrecked tanks out of the way, onto a dragon wagon, or pulling stuck tanks out of the mud. I am sure others have more to add.
Frostygirl, I am going to use it in my next diorama, and I got back the major assemblies, like the weird cylinder turret replacement thing, and the crane. It will be knocked out, a little rust, but covered in snow, and converted to a german machine gun pillbox in the ardennes(what better place to put one? Nice and dry, lots of room, warm, and you are still in an armored box)
Zokissima, If you really want to shoot tanks, a friend of mine, knows how to make origami tanks(he plays war with them(you can crush em, then refold reinforcements)
Captain Caveman, I can fix most of it, so it is not at all FUBAR (yet)
I wish I had a video of it, It would be great(BOOM)
I am gonna crush a cheap airplane kit this summer though(build it, then film an old International Harvester Crawler running over it)
Have fun all!
