:* Re: [TANKS] Re: Cromwell Tank I disagree. Although in real combat the Cromwell's boxy design wouldn't have deflected shells as easily, in paintball combat it doesn't matter much, right? Am I right, also, in thinking that it's easier to make a boxy design, easier when using welded steel

Thanks guys. LOL. And Steve, just so you know, I was planning on building a Cromwell even before I saw yours on the list. Mine might have a 75mm gun rather than a 90mm one. I'm losing support at home because I switched projects, but I can probably do this independently if needed. I just realized

You don't want to do a Cromwell! That's one but ugly tank... You'll be the source of derision till the end of time. Function does follow form after all. You need to do a nice curvy, streamlined design for your first tank. Steve There Can Only Be One Tyng ;) On Monday, April 2, 2012

I like how the Cromwell looks and how some variants performed in combat. I have plans from thedecoy.org for a 1:6 Cromwell. I don't plan to change my mind. And besides, I could probably convert it into a Comet or Centaur...? On Tue, Apr 3, 2012 at 3:42 PM, Pete Arundel
