Sorry it's me again, upgraded all three tanks and are now all broken down ready for paint.

The black dots you can see is plasticard coloured black with a felt pen so I can see them.

Hi as the paint shop is going to be a bit busy for sometime I'll be stating my next attempt.

Sherman M4 tank fitted with T1E3 Aunt Jemima Mine Roller.

T1E3 Aunt Jemima Mine Roller conversion kit I' already removed most of the carsting blocks.

The T1E3 Aunt Jemima utilised the pressure type system in the form of two rollers each made up of five large metal discs. Propelled along by a Sherman tank, the system was nicknamed after a famous pre-made pancake mix (Aunt Jemima’s) as the discs were said to resemble large pancakes. The size of each disc; 10cm wide and 2.46m in height meant their massive weight (26,000kg total) provided the necessary ground pressure to detonate any mines it encountered.
While it performed well during testing, once in the field the system proved difficult to manoeuvre especially when it came to making a U-turn. The weight of the roller also meant the system was prone to bogging down once any form of soft terrain was encountered.

T1E3 stuck...a common problem.

The roller chains from the Sherman sprockets drove the loosely mounted discs; the spacers were arranged and grooved to allow the discs to move.

From all photos I've seen, the T1E3s with M4s used the Baldwin manufactured M4s -- characterized by a vertical rear bulkhead.

Should be good...the Aunt Jemima already looks like a toon, so a toon version will be really out there.....

Last update.
I'm calling it time on the toon factory it's run its course and I've lost interest in building them after all they are just toys not real models which is what I used to build, haven't been at the bench or built anything for nearly 3 weeks, have lost all interest in building and model making but had a very enjoyable 5 years doing it though.
So if I don't return a big thank you to all for the support, encouragement and comments from everyone but most of all all the knowledge that I have learnt along the way from everyone.

Thank you .

Pete
