Hi,
Here are a few pictures of the Canadian built Ram II (aka M4A5) 1/16 scale RC tank for the Show Off section in a "training in Canadian winter" scenario. The complete build can be seen in the "Other Build" section.
The model has the following features;
- Modified and corrected Vandra Ram II conversion kit and figures
- Heng Long Sherman chassis, turret rotation, elevation, smoker, speaker and gearbox
- Mato T74 metal tracks, sprockets, adjustable Idler and MG flash unit
- Clark TK-22 control board, recoil and main gun flash units
- Shapeways M3 suspension conversion, .30 Browning MG, Spoked road wheels and M2 fire extinguisher sets
- Micro servo for MG turret rotation
- 3mm Leds for the headlights
Regards, Louis

Looks amazing in the snowy scenery. Great job - you've put a lot of effort getting this to be accurate!

Re: Canadian Ram II early model tank
An absolutely Herculean effort Louis, but the results speak for themselves. It's a beautiful, one-of-a-kind build; one to be proud of, no mistake.
The surface textures and weathering really bring the model to life, everything ties together really well. You've raised the bar again, so I'll be curious to see how you one-up yourself again.
