                        How about a sherman with a new twist of a modified M1Abrams turret or something else on it, and maybe a modern hedg/ mine clearing devise on the front ( all in matt black with a futuristic scene )

                        Usually I just do aircraft, but having done hypothetical things with that subject, I suppose for armor I'd probably do something like puting wood planks on the sides of something like a Challenger or Merkava sort of like some of those pictures you see of Shermans with wood planks on their sides.

                        Maybe a WWI British tank with ERA bricks on it.

                        For a real anachronism, how about a horse drawn Abrams? How many heavy horses for that do you figure? :-)

                        Now that you mention it. I have a friend in a model club that was putting a T34 turret on a Sherman, that was sometime ago. Next time I see him I'll have to ask him what happened to it.

                        If I had to design one, I'd do something like this.



                        Maybe it's just me, but I think that it could take a Sherman and a Tiger at the same time. Maybe even a Merkava. Abrams would be a stretch, though.

                        Hmmmm....
                        Ok: how about some kinda nutty field mod with a German 88 installed in a Sherman? Any kind of Sherman would do.

                        Remember, I said "some kinda." I have no idea how anybody could get an 88 in a Sherman.

                        But it'd be cool, no?

                        Heck, the Israelis got that loooong French 105 in a Sherman, so why not an 88?

                        Thinking about Redleg's Sherman with the M1 turret... I've tried this....

                        Want a giggle? Pull an M1 and Sherman off the shelf, take the M1's turret off and put the Sherman turret in its place... If you can keep it from falling into the hull! The M1 turret is almost the size of the Sherman hull!
                        A "Humvee" with full tracks (I've seen them with 4 tracks.. one in place of each wheel. Where's my camera when I need it!?)

                        That' sounds pretty cool!
                        I've seen plans for a Tiger II with a 105mm gun in the turret. The turret was unchanged, however.

                        How about a more Jagdpanther-ish Jagdtiger? That is, a Jagdtiger with a fully sloped hull front.
                        I suppose at first glance, it would look just like a Jagdpanther, though.

                        OK, OK, how about a Sturmtiger with the big mortar replaced with a 128mm cannon? I reckon you'd have to rename it Jagdtiger I.

                        Or how about an M1A2 in solid OD with some of those big retro white stars in the white hoops?

                        The Jagdpantherish Jagdtiger would be interesting to see, although it doesnt sound like an overly difficult conversion. Now if I wanted to see something really wierd, how about mounting a Sturmtiger gun on a kubelwagen. That would be like trying to breed a Chiwawa with a Doberman.

                        Brian I like the idea of an Abrams in OD with the big star on it, kinda pays homage to the Sherman and other US tanks of yesteryear. Smile [:)]

                        Yeah Tigerman, that's exactly what I was thinking. Something we might actually see one day!

                        TeddyA, I think you meant 128mm gun with a Hetzer, didn't you? Heh heh!

                        Good one Brian, 128mm with a Hetzer. Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]

                        I don't get all the S-tank lovers out there, ugly tank! Of course, management doesn't side themselves with the writers comments. Sad [:(]

                        i like it !!!! where can i get one ?
                        my personal bit of weirdness would be an italian tank painted in a camo pattern inspired by the pucci dress nicole kidman wore on a recent photo shoot ( it's all pink and yellow swirls)... i'm sure i can find a nice italian tank, but where am i ever gonna find a 1/72 scale nicole kidman figure to display with it ?
