Sponson=area above the tracks. In an AFV (armored fighting vehicle) like
an M113, it would be where the troops sit. In a tank, they mount radios,

how much was it for your king tiger?
when you emailed him, was there any delay of any kind between the time of
sending him an email and his replying to it?
also, with your king tiger, was there any kind of parts list - in case you
wanted to buy replacement parts?
Chris,

I'm glad I could help you out. There's a ton of different materials to
build your parts out of, and I can't keep them straight - I let Todd
figure that out :-) Some material has better resolution than others.
You'll see some stair stepping between the layers with the less
expensive material, b

We've got a b-e-utiful M41 Bulldog, with a forward facing gun, sitting
infront of our post office in Overton, Nevada. Rust free just like our
old cars too. I was originaly going to build it insted of my Sherman,
but I wanted better armor at the time than it could provide. I would
still like try it
Well I added another 1 1/2 feet of track today giving me 2 1/2 feet of track. I
don't know how long it will take me to finish it with school, but I hope before
Monday.

I have heard of the mantlet, but glacis plate is new to me. As for return
rollers I've seen some Sherman's that use some sort of rounded steel that rides
between the track guides.

Sorry no-one told you, Ryan. For reference the return rollers are the
3 (on the Sherman) rollers each side at the top that stop the track
dragging on the suspension units.
I tried to think of some more obscure tank terms you might not have
come across and thought of :

For the Florida fans of the Walker M41 Bulldog tank, I just dicovered a real
one at a museum in Merritt Island, FL. (Other state fans are welcome too, but
its a longer drive)
The tank is in generally good shape- its not a rust bucket. The turret is
facing the rear over the gun rest. I as

Hi Derek, I agree, it is very unique There is plenty of room for all the extra fun components like smoke, sound, and animatronic figures. V2 had a 128mm KwK 44 L/55 gun with coaxial 75mm KwK 44 L/36.5 gun, so the 75mm can be the paintball marker and the main gun can be fitted with a blank firer
