RULES FOR THE PATTON - PERSHING SINGLE TYPE BUILD Host : Corsairfoxfouruncle Host : Plasto Host : Plastix Hello one and all welcome to the Pershing-Patton build. The build will cover 74 years of armor over Four major types with several sub-types and variants. This build covers everything from the earliest version of the M-46 Patton and its sire the M26 Pershing.* All the way to the latest Israeli, Taiwanese, and other variant’s of the Pattons and everything in between. If anyone has any questions please contact one of us. We promise to get back to you at our earliest convenience.  * As i have posted The M26 counts as 1,160 were converted to M46 (800) & M46a1’s (360) so that should qualify as a direct family connection. 🔷: Please if we’ve missed any versions, variants, or sub-types and you desire to build it. Contact us and one of us will research it and give an answer as soon as possible.  🔷: Any scale or kit will qualify to be entered, including kits, aftermarket, and in one case 3D printed model. ♦️: Standard build rules will apply including the 25% rule.  ♦️: No WHIFS there are enough models, types, & variations with these as is. We dont need to think up imaginary tanks. We will consider working prototypes as a project. But no paper projects, that would just be another form of Whif. ♦️: Absolutely no buying, selling, or trading in the group build area. There are areas of the Forum designated for this. Not to mention Personal messaging. Positively no exceptions will be made. 🔷: Please keep your Gallery post to no more than 5 photo’s. THE QUALIFYING VARIANTS :  Start with the M26*/46 series. And its spinoffs the T29/30/34 prototypes. Those ultimately helped develop the M103. There was the T39 Prototype Eng. vehicle(M46) which one member is planning on doing. We then have the M47 & its sub-types including the M6 dozer and Iranian Sabalan tank. Next is the M48 & its sub-types including the M67 flame-thrower tank, engineering vehicles, and or Remotely operated vehicles. Which are followed by the M60 & its sub-types. We have an option to build the M88 ARV. Some of you may consider scratchbuilding an M51 ARV based on the M103. You could always try your hand with an M247 Sgt.York. Foreign variations and modifications are definitely encouraged & allowed including Israeli, Taiwanese, Iranian, and others. Any Self-propelled Artillery based on the same chassis. Such as T92, T93 HMC’s based on the M26. The M53-M55 SPH which use components from the M48 drivetrain. One more important thing to remember. This is all about the enjoyment, so please above all else have fun. This will be my 1st ever attempt at hosting a group build, so please go easy on me. 😉 Dennis
