WWII-era M4 Sherman Tank

Hmm, I think I have a solution for all this..

I'll just make it my own tank, and call it the M3 infantry support tank. Thanks for the C&C though!

Sorry this is somewhat of topic, but how do you guys make the tracks for the tanks?

*facepalm*

The tracks are from LEGO sets, PhiMa just placed them on his tank.

Oh my gosh I love it! You are a wonderful World War II builder! Keep it up!

I've modified the M3 today, and before any of you say 'ZOMG u not listin to wut we said!' I changed it, so it's no longer a Sherman, it's a Tank I made up for WWII. The M3 Infantry Support tank.

First off, I added an interior, complete with controls and Pilot:


And then I placed the 4x4 plate differently, so now it's no longer loose, I'm moved the one of the chain further left, and I added an axe and shovel on the sides:


Enjoy! I hope my second race for the stolen treasure comes soon, cause then I can present Fox Company of the 101st Airborne to you.

Looking better already! But why not make Easy company?

I could make Easy, seeing as I'm watching Band of Brothers at the moment, but I don't think it'd look right if I make Easy with M3 IST's.

What's wrong with it? You mean para's with tanks?

No, I mean a real Company with a made-up tank.


Ah, What the heck, I'll do Easy, and I've already got a plan for Winters and probably the medic.

Well, Fox' a real company too.
Sweet, can't wait to see what you came up with!

I'm getting Race for They Stolen treasure off LEGO.com once they restock...

-DP: Don't expect too much, it's probably just going to be the torso's with some special pants, the right faces, and the plain old lego rifles, the two vehicles and maybe some mortars...

-Faie: Mine should be on it's way at the moment.

Mortars. I like those, did you make your own design?

I'm not sure if you know about this or even have this in Europe but they is this great toy series that are models of real WWII things, I have a few and they give me inspiration for MOCs.

-DP: I haven't made then yet, but I had some made before you made yours (using almost the same design), and then realized mine was way too tall. So, mine will probably look a lot like yours.

-Faie: We don't, but I get enough inspiration from Band of Brothers! Thanks though. What I'm looking for here is Sluban, apparently those sets have the helmets BA used as M1s.

Yep, but you have to pay 7 EUR shipping or drive to the other side of the country.
I'd have 20 M1 helmets now if it wasn't like that.

I've updated it again a bit.
