For all you old tankers out there this is a very interesting web site of a World War II (the big one) vet and retired engineer who is making a 1/8th scale model of a Sheridan that was in A Troop, 1/11th Cav in Vietnam in 1970.  I met this guy on the internet and later went to visit him at his house just south of Tucson. 
 
Howard is a very interesting guy and has some great WWII stories.  He made this Sheridan from scratch in his well-equipped shop.  Click on the pictures to see the enlarged versions and you will be amazed at the detail he has put into this vehicle.
 
I met him at Fort Irwin, California, in January of 2002 where he and I got the royal treatment at the 11th Cav Museum.  I took those three pictures of Howard and his Sheridan in the museum parking lot.
