Quoting John Daniels
Awesome, George! It looks perfect. *Sarcasm* It's just amazing how you made the tank barrel really shoot! *End Sarcasm* The tiny details look great! I love the land mines as well. A very well earned 5-5. --John
Haha thanks, I actually stuck the first firecracker in the barrel. It left a few burn marks. Also my tank is covered in dirt from the "land mines".
Quoting Gabor Pauler Excellent chassis and suspension, great work! However 2 critics: 1. The turret would look more realistic made from rounded tile bricks than assembled from plates. The reason is that the Sherman had 1-piece casted turret (like T-34) with seriously rounded edges for higher ballistic defence. Against that, e.g. King Tiger had welded turret from rolled plates, which can be modelled better from plates. 2. If you want some more sophisticated soothing mechanism in the same scale, see

I did struggle with the turret it needs to be redone so it looks better. That shooting mechanism looks crazy sophisticated. I'm not sure it would fit in my tank.
Quoting Senator Chinchilla Fireworks and tanks go together like PB&J. Great vid, and awesome tank. I'm shocked at how sturdy that barrel is.
Thats right! It was pretty fun to shoot the fireworks off I just needed another person to hold the camera so I could shoot firecrackers at the tank.
Quoting Chris Melby George, I've been away for a bit, great build, or should I say builds! The suspension on this is killer! Chris
Thanks Chris! It's always nice to hear from you. It's not that killer... It only shoots firecrackers ;)
Quoting Chrismo Brickfanatic Again, you produce a great MOC. You have such a great way with every small detail. The result is as always wonderful. I also like the way you have managed to hide every cable and ugly stuff.
Thanks :) This one was way fun to build. I think it turned out all right. Could use a revision on the turret.
A big thank you to everyone!
