ODDBALL's Sherman from "Kelly's Heroes"
 

Just thought I'd add a little life to this section. It's missing a few details but I'mma workin' on them as we speak. :)

It is 1/16 using stock MATO suspension and tracks, Tamiya lower and upper hull plus the high bustle turret, Elite Armor 76MM aluminum barrel and Nicks M34A1 mantlet.

It IS equipped with a Tamiya electronics... the M26 Pershing sounds (but no recoil just like the shows tank didn't have) and the IMPACT battle system installed.

Here's the build: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_96...tm.htm#9603584

Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isU_GiH4qFA

And a couple of pics.

Very nice! Where you gonna find a Donald Sutherland action figure? :)

Re: ODDBALL's Sherman from "Kelly's Heroes"
 

The Sherman looks great chap.

A guy used to make the oddball figure but I haven't been able to fine one for a project I did (Heng Long hull and cut up Tamiya Lunchbox shell)

Thanks guys!

I have 2 of them, a bust from a friend in the UK and a full length from I believe it's Jimmy Flintstone. (sp)

Do you know who did the bust and whether still doing them? And Jimmy Flintstone that's the one I was thinking of

Re: ODDBALL's Sherman from "Kelly's Heroes"
 

I believe it was Frank (fynsdad) at http://www.rctankregiment.com/rctankforum/index.php that sent me the bust.

I would try him first.

Oh well thanks Lynn!

There are still some things to add and change... you know, sometimes they are never finished right at first. ;)


Hope all is well with you! I miss battling with you guys.
