    woah. way back i took the famous universal backlot tour, and i saw this frigging tank sitting there. it looked 1-1 scale at the time but it may have been a large miniature. saw the movie later and promptly forgot it. good work though, fx crew.

    There are so many stories just like the one here about the tank model getting damaged. But there are an equal number of stories about teams coming together at the 12th hour to overcome things like this. Really inspiring.

      That's why these are talented professional model makers. Accidents happen, but they can repair the damage.

    It has to be the hardest part of this job, building something amazing and unique and hearing it won't ever be used in the final movie.
    Wonder if they ever tried to pursued the directors at any time to still use it or was that just useless?

      @@1pcfred Come on, we are not robots. You put your heart and soul into a project and you really don't give a shit if they use it because you got your money. I get your point but i personally it would impede me to do my best again on the next project. They clearly don't care that much about it and go full force on the next project, i wonder how they do that? Is that the difference between professional and amateur perhaps haha?

      @@keepinmindthat in the grand scheme of things the special effects are just a supporting part of a project. Done right the work should be hardly noticed. It just flows with the story. Least I've never seen model makers get top billing in a feature. Starring the guy with the paint brush! It just doesn't happen.

      The air filter is the big give away. The M35A2 (Duce & a 1/2) has the air filter under the hood.

    Making a movie is about agonizing choices.
    You shoot hours of gorgeous miniature work, to make sure you cover every angle.
    For 'insurance' you use different lighting and camera set-ups; leave nothing to chance!
    Director uses 3 seconds of footage that your assistant knocked out before lunch with a hand-held camera and available light.

    Your miniature effects were the only saving grace of that movie. A real waste of Steve Martin's talents.
