T95 gun motor carrage

[seejianshin]

Hi guys,
First i would like to thank everyone who helped to save my walker bulldog.
When i took it out for a run, my friend on a bike busted the turret.
so i was thinking of building a cool turret-less tank with my walker bulldog chassis like the mighty T95.
I would like to ask if anyone did something like this before?
Thanks.

Have heard of attempts of that tank.... but that's a super heavy... you'll need more than a Walker to make it

Thanks for that but im trying to keep my costs low.
Plus, what material is suitable for a super heavy?
Thanks

Usually a scratch or kitbash is entered into with the hopes of a low cost build...but ... unless you have resources ...like a tank junk pile...the cost can be quite high... the T95 is the US attempt at a super tank....that tank is big so at the very minimum I would say you would at least need two Pershings plus your Walker to make the chassis... and a lot of plastic stock to fabricate the rest of the tank

What I thought of doing with one of my Walkers was make a M42 Duster


Most of the lower is all Walker... the upper would need a little reconfiguration...the turret isn't too difficult of a fabrication... Highly possible on a tight budget

Thanks Alpha but i would like to make a shooting model, the duster has a turret and it is not fully covered, so its pretty hard to make. Additionally i really like the T95...... looks like i have to squeeze everything out of me.....

Thanks you so much Mike!
I'll try my best to do it with a limited budget.

You could try doing a "Paper Walker" Janshin... You know like a paper Panzer... ones that were thought of but only put down on paper.... I saw a build were the person did up a Sherman in an assault tank configuration... so kind of what you are looking to do...The problem with the Walker is... it was a tank that came way later in the Korean War... with a little history in Vietnam...So assault tanks weren't really being used ....It's also one of the contributing factors that made the T95 not practical

Doing something like that would be a test...of your imagination ..design skills ... and build ability.... might not be all that pricy either


Good Luck

Thanks guys now i came up with the ultimate plan, for keeping my budget low!
since im in Malaysia tank parts are really hard to find and are usually expensive. To save cost for my tank, i chose the cheapest way to use less tracks. (The green part is the track.) Is this possible, thanks.

You'll probably have to extend the chassis .... But hey good plan...

Good Luck
