Porthmouth Bills told me that it's okay if I make a thread here since I made my tanks via FD scale templates!
Well, here it is.

Interesting, but your APC are a little small.

And try link your pic's directly from imageshack, photobucket or other site like they. As attachments they wil be purge in next server memory purge of this site.

Length wise they're okay, it's the height that needs tweaking on them. Also why 10x10 over 8x8 except for maybe the SPG.?

right now the tanks' suspension have as much give as a mark IV's

Yeah indeed, tanks have ... shields ? at the beginning and end of tracks. It means that you can only ride on highway or other flat and hard ground.

Well, I'm not good at designing tanks but I'll keep practicing.
Erm, the shields can be lifted when engaging the other tanks to protect the tracks but I think I'll edit every tanks with shields covering the tracks now.

EDIT: Mark IV's? What's that?

( sorry for ridiculous ideas, I don't know much about how tanks works etc )

I mean that "shield" on front of the track is a massive design failure, you can ride only on flat ground because of it. You will stuck on every rough terrain, even the smallest hill wil stop you.
Mark IV ... grandfather of all tanks, THE Mark IV.
Then why you try to create one ? First level of any design is to know how it's work, cars, planes, ships ... everything. Look at modern tanks, how they look, watch movies with them, how they move.

And again, please don't use attachments.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

side skirts are a good idea but you have to realize that any modern tank has to leave space between the hull and the ground to negotiate obstacles, as well as keeping the hull as short as possible (so none of those things on the ends of the track).
