They're just touching the ground now...the jib does raise, but not remotely I'm afraid...
remember...it's just a plastic tank... :/

And they touch the ground! This would be awesome to run on a dry dirt area kicking up dust and dirt!

This is a bad ass tank Frank!

Awesome work as always, Frankie. The best thing about Shermans is the limitless number of variants, and the Crab's a great one.

Do my eyes deceive me, or are those Lego chains? It's been a really long time since I've seen any.
