Subject: Been Seeking out oddball tanks-Now with converted T-34/76!
if i had come earlier to this show... i would have suggested to shift the smokegrenade launchers a bit... there rather prominent atm... but here she is already primed in black^^
Between playing World of Tanks, (An awesome Russian Invention), watching "Girls und Panzer" and neeeding something easy, yep, sped this one up a bit! Yeah, as you should well know, I do my tanks by a "feel" and that one just cried for a wide pattern like that, (Sloped armor may be why).

as for world of tanks... tv adds are on almost 24/7... they are producing a big noise around that game...
You can look it up, it is a world where girls go to giant aircraft carrier schools and they learn the womanly art of tank fighting. Shells are heavily regulated not to actually destroy the tanks, more so that a on board comp calculates the power of the hit, and if it is a good one, the tank pops up a white flag, so it is out of the match. The schools also seem to have themes for their tanks, but our main protagonists have a motley assortment of tanks for the series, so oour main groups are in Pz-IV, StuG-III, Pz-38, M-3 Lee, Type-89, and then a Char-I, and Chi-Nu, and Porsche Tiger.
They face an all British themed school using Churchill and Matildas, Italian themed school, Japanese themed school, they have a major match with the all American school all armed with M-4 Sherman tanks, and the main characters' old school that uses all late war German Panzers/Tigers/Panthers, but before she faces her mom's school, they almost lost to a all Russian themed school using T-34/76, T-34/85, KV-2 and IS-2.
Now in world of tanks, I am grinding away through all the trees, American/Brit/German/Russian/French and Chinese

that T-34 looks quite cool, not sure now on what my tanks will be in future, so far I have Chimera and Pz II based versions - the PZ II is a bit small!
Could see these being good for Macharius style tanks with a few mods...
Just started playing WoT myself as well, finding the British Medium I and II are really really pap and I have yet to actually do anything useful in a game (well I did manage a kill with the US T18 but then I got killed!)
@Ross74H: Thanks, I really need to post the camo pics.
Ah, I refer to the Vickers Medium I and II as the Vickers Mediocre I and II

That way, I can paint it more detail worthy, then assemble the gun and command chair section to the spidery chassis.I chose the heat ray for it's versatility.
