M4A1(75) Shermans-- 3rd Platoon, I Company, 32nd Armored Regt., 3rd Armored Division

5 Old Dark Grey M4A1 (75mm) Shermans. Part of my 3rd Armored Division (these tanks represent the famous 32nd Armored Regiment).

 

Design credit largely goes to Dan Siskind (Brickmania) whose Jumbo Sherman model was the very beginning and inspiration of this project and Dan's skills have been a large influence for many other projects that I've worked on (you are the best Mr. Siskind).

 

Key notes about the tanks:

-over 3000 old dark grey pieces including some rare and non-production elements (note the 20 old dark grey 24 Tooth Technic gears)

-over 1100 small Technic links were used

-Vehicle insignia and names are from Archer Fine Transfers

-3rd Armored Division shoulder patch located on the crewman were designed by Milan

-assorted Brickarms monopods and small arms (trophies of war) were incorporated into both the design and stowage.

 

Opinions, C&C, thoughts more than welcome.
