My name is Mike Butts and I am active duty Navy and stationed in Charleston, SC. I have been following RC Tank Combat since 2003 (near end of high school) but have sunk my resources into RC Naval Combat. Some might recognize me from various forums/ lists realted to Big Gun/ Fast Gun formats.   I have a fetish with all things Soviet and my very favorite tank is the IS-3 (Iosif Stalin), aka JS-3. I have a great many drawings and pictures of it. I have seen some 3D renderings of it but have had no luck in contacting the person responsible so as to get their hull dimensions. I have looked at all the links on the site and have yet to come up with hull shapes/ angles for the IS-3. Only 2D drawings that with some creative geometry I could come up with said dimensions. The front of the tank is made up of 6 plates meeting at various angles. Is it the most practical tank... nope. Is the turret going to be rather complicated... oh yes. Am I going to consider any other tank... absolutely not. My mantra is that if you don't love it... don't build it. Because when you hit a snag you might quit.   My build will be slow and not due to start for about a year. However, I can get a good plan together in the mean time and maybe accumulate some good parts. Thanks for letting me join and I look forward to gaining some knowledge!
