Hi Ryan
I did not have enough $$$$$ to get a one of the sherman's.. I did put in a tender but not enough at the time.. So settled for a turret :-) Tim |

Hi Tony, Ryan, I didn't click before my last post about the possibility of trying to imitate a Sentinel from an M3 Medium bottom half. Never entered my skull until Tony spelt it out for me. I suppose the action of the suspension is similar but I think the Sentinel has a horizontal spring or springs rather than twin vertical volute. But I reckon you could fabricate the suspensions from scratch. The track tensioner is presumably just a roadwheel and you might be able to find the tensioner brackets and original wheels if you look hard. Dunno how you'd hide the hull joining rivets and make it look reasonable.
I've attached 2 pics of Sentinel suspension to give an idea of construction along with what I think is a Sentinel Roadwheel. Quote:

I can say the one/s I have here in Adelaide will get the big rebuild as soon as I do a couple of other projects first. I might just say that I don't think they're ugly at all either.

We're in SA tonight for a border raid tomorrow, but of the four legged type and wooly. I have however seen some interesting armour bits for an M3 on our journey and hope to see more tomorrow.
