Good lord that is some amazing stuff. Making your own tracks just sounds like an enormous amount of patience is needed when doing that 4 times over.

In WWII tank photos, you often see trees/logs tied to the sides. Do you know what they were for?
I knew a guy that made a 1/4 scale German 88 that fired golf balls using gunpowder. You should have it out with him.

Believe that is the case in "Fury." It's makeshift armor, just as they sometimes added scrap metal, sand bags, or track sections to the frontal slope.
A secondary reason might be to try and defeat the shaped charge warhead of the Panzerfaust by causing it to detonate prematurely. The Russians installed spaced armor on frontal slopes late in the war for the same reason.

What an awesome build from scratch! Makes the shovel AK project look easy. The cast drivers hatch out of melted beer cans and lawn chairs is great!! Can't wait to see more...
They did indeed show the logs in Fury. Also saw some in the old pics of this style of armored vehicle, as well as other tank pics from WWII. Makes sense to predetonate warheads before they reach the metal to dissipate energy.
Forgot to mention, this build is pretty awesome. What about an interchangeable paintball gun and ma deuce?

oh ... did I mention it's a 1/4 of the original 76mm? ... so it's a .75 cal, 75 cal lead slug.
yes, 75 cal will just tear new *******s wherever and whenever it wants.

My son can't see this thread, because then he would realize his dad doesn't measure up. Awesome work Boris
Throw the logs under the tracks when you get mired down. I know of a dozer that needed a semi load of railroad ties under it to get un stuck

Spending time with kid is really what matters. No matter what, you are the most awesome dad to your kid.
Yes, there are actually a lot pictures on how this is done, it's a very common training exercise, especially in muddy fields.
here is a SU with a whole lot of logs
