jdmcm Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Ok keen eyes, what type of field gear is hanging on the front right and left of Fury's turret? I can recognize the musette bags and of course helmets and such, but what are the long rolls hanging on either side? Quote
fesm_ndt Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Timber logs in an attempt to gain extra protection I saw this video recently and it covers most of the Fury screen play script...... thought it was very interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEeQPUp5VTY I say an attempt as the video shows a few different ideas crews did to add protection Quote
paul_bish Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Do you mean the items on the turret? I would assume they are bedding rolls of some sort, blankets etc Quote
Tim Isaac Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 They were just rolls of canvas I believe. Possibly kit bags. Quote
jdmcm Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Yes I was meaning on the turret sides...you think just canvas tarps or maybe tents rolled up? Quote

robin craig Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Does anyone here have any knowledge of how the Shielder was converted to become the Sherman mule for filming? Someone must know something R Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 They cut the top off the Shielder, moved the drivers controls forward and placed a mock up Sherman hull on top. No great mystery! Quote
Enigma Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 They are probably canvas tarps to make a shelter. Simply attach it to the tank and stratch to form a flysheet to sleep under. That's at least what the halftrack and tank crews in the 2nd armored re-enacting group does when on tour. Quote
