Hey, I built that!

Seriously, that's the worst looking thing I've seen in a long time.

I would love to own it just to show it to friends!

You could have fouled me...It's a Shermie in my opinion. And not a very good one as well.
I'd say...let's stick to plastic!!!

If the rivet counters who didn't die laughing first would be throwing up so much they wouldn't have the stength left to nitpick real models... maybe we ought to form a pool, chip in enough to buy it, and pass it around to whoever was going to be entering a competition... just a thought... #:-)

Looks like the aftermath of an unnatural relationship between an M4 and a T55. This guy is good... Who says craftsmanship is dead? #:-) Jim

If you check out their website, they have a kit that bares a passing resemblance to an M1 listed as an M4A3. They also have one listed as a Tiger II that also looks like an M1. If they get the prices they are asking for, more power to them. I think I will start selling sharpened pencils on EBay and list them as Patriot missiles.

Yow ... guess that's the result of making and wearing hats made from recycled aluminum cans -- which this fellow also apparently makes.
