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

Something we might actually see one day! TeddyA, I think you meant 128mm gun with a Hetzer, didn't you? Heh heh! ~Brian Reply tigerman Member since March 2003 From: Rain USA, Vancouver WA Posted by tigerman on Thursday, September 25, 2003 7:07 PM 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.

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. Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, September 25, 2003 5:15 PM J-Hulk - S-tank with a turret! You cracked me up with that one Guess it would look a bit like a BMP 2 then Happy Modelling Peter Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, September 25, 2003 2:09 PM Hetzer with a 128mm gun. Reply Edit J-Hulk Member since February 2003 From: Tochigi, Japan Posted by J-Hulk on Thursday, September 25, 2003 12:18 PM OK, here's another one: Swedish "S" tank with a turret. ~Brian Reply Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, September 25, 2003 12:08 PM A paladin with reactive armor, some type of rocket pods on the sides that fold out when ready to fire, a gatling gun for the chief to use instead of the .50, take the .50 and put it on the gunners side hatch and then you have a highly survivable howitzer crew! Reply Edit J-Hulk Member since February 2003 From: Tochigi, Japan Posted by J-Hulk on Thursday, September 25, 2003 11:56 AM 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? Hmmm...what else would be interesting... ~Brian Reply tigerman Member since March 2003 From: Rain USA, Vancouver WA Posted by tigerman on Thursday, September 25, 2003 12:25 AM Neat idea J-Hulk, but might the 128mm tip it forward? LOL I like the thought of a Tiger III.

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. ~Brian Reply Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, September 23, 2003 7:17 AM Put a 128mm gun on a King Tiger, lengthen the turret by half. Might be a good project...the Tiger III Reply Edit wipw Member since January 2003 From: Utah - USA Posted by wipw on Monday, September 22, 2003 3:57 PM QUOTE: Maybe it's just me, but I think that it could take a Sherman and a Tiger at the same time.

(Author unknown) Reply Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Monday, September 22, 2003 1:28 PM 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!?) Ron. Reply Edit tigerman Member since March 2003 From: Rain USA, Vancouver WA Posted by tigerman on Sunday, September 21, 2003 4:39 PM A Panther hull with side shields like a Marder or Hummel with an 88mm gun. or an Elefant casemate with a Tiger II hull and wheels.

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? ~Brian Reply kaleu Member since February 2003 From: Racing capital of the world- Indy Posted by kaleu on Sunday, September 21, 2003 11:12 AM I'd like to see a Leopard painted in the late WW2 ambush pattern. Or a T-55 with an Abrams turret mounted on top. Erik "Don't fruit the beer." Newest model buys: More than I care to think about. It's time for a support group. Reply Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, September 21, 2003 7:04 AM Almost as many guns as a Russian T-35 Heavy Tank.........but probably more useful. How about a Scorpion or Saladin turret on a M113? Ooops, I think we Aussies did that happy modelling Peter Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, September 21, 2003 5:23 AM Warhammer just has soom seriously silly, cool stuff.. Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, September 20, 2003 10:36 PM 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. demono69 Reply Edit 12 JOIN OUR COMMUNITY!
