Yeah, it's a cool tank along with the M551 Sheridan. They were both wierd looking tanks with 165mm Howitzers that could also shoot the Shillelagh anti-tank missile. If I'm not mistaken the five that I used to own were GHQ - but that was years ago and they could have dropped it from their line. A heroic 6mm model would be fun... |

IIRC, the M551 and M60A2 Starship had a 152mm Shillelagh ... The M728 CEV had a 165mm Demo Gun ... just FYI ...

Hey Todderman, would you ever consider doing the M-3 Lee and/or M-3 Grant in heroic 6mm? I think they would look amazing and they would be perfect to represent Ork Gunwagons/Battle wagons (or scale them up to be Gun/Battle Fortresses) depending on the type of futuristic weapons/bits were in the hull and turret. The hull mounted cannon is such a cool feature. A heroic 6mm T-54/T-55 (Orkified) would also make an incredible Gunwagon, just sayin ...food for thought.

Any WWII/Cold War minis upscaled in the larger heroic epic scale would be just great. And I would buy some. |

L4 you are a mine of intel ! The idea for a sci fi M3 was brought up in the trouble maker 6mm thread before. I was only looking at the at GHQs 6mm M3s last weekend and wondering if they'd make good salamander proxies alongside E&C's Churchilians for a Ulani regiment, but you are right 10mm is probably better. However, I'm sure a "proper" sci-fi-ed version would also be very popular whoever made it... |

Intel is my thing ! GHQ and other 6mm are usually too small, save for heavier AFVs, like E-100, Maus, etc. ... And they'd be Meduim MBTs size wise. So I've found 10mm works much better for Epic ... size-wize ... Minifigs makes 12mm which can work too - http://www.miniaturefigurines.co.uk/Cat ... tegoryID=1
