Sabrejet Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share #53 Posted October 7, 2015 As referred to above...note the British Army serial number and metal name plate on the Sherman which became "Fury"...repeated on both sides. (I'm in the "Wardaddy position" in the commander's cupola!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share #61 Posted October 7, 2015 Hello Owen...I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't have thought so. It's an important part of its recent history! It has been re-engined though and had new tracks fitted, post-movie. You must've worked it hard!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintageproductions Posted October 7, 2015 Share #63 Posted October 7, 2015 Here are a couple of props for you. The first is the prop muzzle from Fury that I believe was used for all the non-firing scenes. It was a gift from the Director. Then the rubber German boot knife that Pitt wear's in his boot.

Sabrejet Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share #66 Posted October 9, 2015 The m4 that got hit by a panzerfaust has two different styles of tracks? Well spotted...I hadn't noticed that! Don't suppose it would have shown up in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted October 10, 2015 Share #67 Posted October 10, 2015 That gets me thinking,a tank rips up all the grass and digs ruts in the mud, how did they redo it for each take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share #68 Posted October 10, 2015 That gets me thinking,a tank rips up all the grass and digs ruts in the mud, how did they redo it for each take? Well, as the tracks get quickly become clogged with mud and debris, as seen in the photo, the different cleat details would not really be noticeable, especially if it wasn't in close up. As for the technical aspects of re-setting things for each subsequent take, the man to ask would be Owen, aka kammo-man as he was on set every day as a part of the production team.
