The spot for the counter weight is there, we didn't make one though. One of the Company B partners (there are three of us!) made this one as the turret was fresh from shapeways. Pretty much its just representative of plopping the turret into the warlord model straight out of the box. If we did all the conversions to the hull people would be expecting that as well.
More or less, this is to show:
1: We do custom CAD/Masters and small run prints/casting for regular folks
2: Look what you can do with a Warlord model!
We did make a small run of the turrets in resin. So when those show up, I'll have another go using some British Sherman bits and such. The kicker is that the Warlord Kangaroo is a special order and takes a month to get.
We did have some discussion here about doing a proper RAM II, both early and late models. As the turret fits, but there are some inaccuracies and scale issues with the Warlord hull that don't allow the turret to lineup correctly with the hatches and such. But then if we did the RAM tanks, we'd need to do the Canadian Grizzly...then things would snowball from there.
It's not like we already have sets of Canadian infantry decals, Armored Brigade Decals, and sherman parts lying around (oh, wait..we do!)
I have a few one off models I'm getting made in CAD for printing. So maybe when those are done, I can go ahead and foot the bill for the RAM II and RAM I hull in CAD and build a proper conversion..if only to tease Grant...
