Quantity and some quality

[bluegargantua]

Hey,

So I've finished up the WWII Soviet project for the Bolt Action games down at the store. And the best is saved for last:





A T34-85 tank to provide some armored support and put those Panzers on the run. Actually, it's going to have to sub in as a T34-76 since that it keeps me just under 1000 points. This was another one of the few good pieces from the Warlords boxed Soviet Set. The model is mostly resin except for the commander and the front hatch and co-axial MG. The turret didn't fit into the body very well, but a friend down at the shop took a dremel to it and got it into shape. It was a fast paint-up and now I'm ready to roll.

later

As a special bonus, bits not fitting together properly from the factory and having to be fettled by an expert in the field is perfectly in character for the T-34! It's authentic wargaming! :)

Here's a pretty neat article about that stuff:
