there's a match photo tool? Hmm interesting. I'll give it a try soon. Maybe look at Google Sketchup tutorials first tho.


That is a good idea. There is a good tutorial on the match photo tool on youtube. Use a picture with a horizon by the way. Makes life a lot easier. ;)

I have a question for the below statement. If I asked the top statement if it is true, will it say true or false?

Yes.


You are not the below statement. And I thought it could only say true or false.

It's a grammatical play. "Yes" means yes, it will say either "true" or "false."

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

Just to point this out, the above photo is just a mockup but i have seen. Youtube vido that shows how the Panhard Spinx can raise the center two carrier wheels for better on road performance or lower them for lower ground pressure and offroad performance.
Whether this is a feature that made it past the prototype, i do no know. But its pretty cool.
I wish i could find the video again but i am on my phone now.

I am aware of that. It is however a cool/usefull feature which is not often seen on the modern 6x6

I see. It just so happens that this is what the armored car looked like at first:

But I thought it looked better in the new version.

But in this case, the extra wheels are actually spare wheels that do not drop down but do rotate freely.

So basically a BRDM?

No. The wheels can quite easily be dismounted and used to replace one of the main wheels. They are basically spare wheels that can rotate.

But even if that was not the case, it would still not be a BRDM. Not saying that this idea is original because I stole it from a Soviet armored car from WW2.

(Or was it Italian? I don't remember.)

Honestly Google is being useless about the T-72 and T-80. Though one figure says 2.5M but that seems awfully wide.


And does anyone know a fairly average turret ring diameter for an SPG, say a Paladin or Panzerhaubitze?
