The Great Sherman Vote! (been comin' for a long time.)

With all the influx of WWII creations, Me and Phima thought a poll was a good idea, so I thought I'd set up a poll where ya can vote on which Sherman tank best fits the reference pictures I've provided below, and which one you like best. It would be best for you to judge them in: 1) Historical accuracy. 2) Details, such as greebling and just how good it looks. 3) Proportions, such as length, width, turret size, slope, etc...

Below is what they are suppose to look like.




THIS IS WHAT IT'S NOT SUPPOSE TO LOOK LIKE:


First up...is mine.



Now, we have Funky Cow's (funky funkeh)



Last but...not least, we have PhiMa's!



So, just cast your vote people, and let us know what ya think! It's not that hard to press a button, you can do it!

Wait, I thought we vote on which one we like best, not which one is most accurate.

You didn't even add a poll...And your reference pic shows Half of the tank...Nice.

Yeah, I hit "SEND" instead of preview, my bad everybody, fixing now.

Funky Cow for the win.

Though this topic is completely pointless, debating about who's tank is the best?

When I was making my tank I didn't use that photo as a reference pic so I think this Poll is a little unfair.

I think Funky Cow's was the best.

You're not winning anything...just fer fun, ya see.

Trust me, you will still win.


PM, get the frakking poll up, it's not that hard.

Ya, I know, I was just sharing that with everyone.

Shiz, I hit "multiple choice"...now we can ALL be winners!

Wow. Next time, I'm doing this.

Willys Jeep competition, anyone?

Are we allowed to use your design?

Sorry, I can't see too well (allergies are hell), and I thought it said something else, so I clicked "yes"...\


And, hell no, I suck at making jeeps, how about a faction vote?

EDIT: And besides, you stole your jeep from brickmania...and brickshelf...no cheatsies.

Ok, I would've voted for you Pizza, but your treads are wrong.

Sorry Pizza, you'll lose at a fction contest too. Me and phi will take the cake with that one.

CT, meh, your figs are just SP lookalikes.

Voted for Funky, his was just amazingawesome.

Wrong Alf, they WERE. I changed them a LOT.

Mine were too small, and it was all I had, and theirs are too wide. For a sherman, you're suppose to use two rows of small tread links, but those big ones are too wide and are suitable for a tiger, not a sherman.

EDIT: @CT44: Ok, gonna post my faction now just to show you up, you little snot, mine consists of 35-40 figures of 3 different sides...punk.

Actually, I stole from neither of those. I used the instructions for this. And then modified it. Plus, I gave everyone credit, and shared the design.

I went with Funky's. The shape is the most accurate, especially the turret-to-chassis height ratio, which PM's utterly failed at, and the barrel circumference, which PhiMa's utterly failed at.

Maybe I should've provided a picture where the turret wasn't turning...

Your treads are brown though so I think that ours are more accurate.

Pizza, quality over quanity. I've seen your faction. WOW! They are like, the exact same designs as everybody uses for WWII figs. Psh, I wish I was that good.

That's not my point. I mean that in both reference pics, the turret has less total height than the distance from the baseplate of the chassis to the top of the chassis armor on which the turret rests. Your turret contains more total height than the chassis measurement I mentioned.
