M6A1 "Bearhound"--Mission Accomplished!!!

The M4...Something...Something

B) B) Love the idea and the 'cross-kitting' - looks like something they should have done!

Ok...I'm still pecking way at this one and working out how to get them fat-ol wheels tucked up under the hull as to not look overly stupid. First try was a total failure.
Since I'm using the chain drive from a dragon wagon it pushed the wheels out way pass the hull side...and looked stupid. :facepalm So I'm going to recess the axles into the lower hull and see what happens.

Thanks everyone! This is turning out to be more fun than I originally thought it would be.

I getting ready to start on the front axle or axles, and therein lies the problem. My first mockup was with a regular M4A3 hull but I decided later to use the longer M4A4 hull...seemed to make more sense...to me anyway.

So one axle...

or two front axles...

What are the suggestions from the Armor Board?

Digging the longer wheelbase and extra pair of wheels. :good:

I'll be a voice in the opposite direction...

I think if the rear wheels are moved forward a bit so they are both under the hull, it would look better with just the ten wheels. The second set of forward wheels wouldn't be needed. Again, that is just my opinion, it's your model, it's gonna stay on your shelf.

Still following along; I like this different style. Bring it on my friend!
