So that is resin printed?

Yep, I'm using a blend of engineering resins:

Siraya Tech Build (dimensionally accurate, doesn't warp)
Siraya Tech Blu V2 (tough, impact-resistant)
Siraya Tech Tenacious (flexible, retains shape)
UV-stable pigments (reduces blooming, keeps high levels of detail)

I've used this mixture to print strong, functional parts like handles for equipment cases and stands for desk lamps. It's nothing like the standard cheap Elegoo or Anycubic stuff!

Something like this one Ram?

Yep, should be able to get back to it once I wrap up some stowage stuff for Herman and Aussie. There are a few adjustments I want to make to the design, but otherwise I think these kits will be ready to go soon.

No huge rush, I'm planning on doing the stamped UZTM (so-called Formochka) turret next.

Should be able to leverage a bit of work from the cast hexagonal turret.

Goes to show what an alternative turret can offer in the world of the T34

We call this one "turtle" here because of the resemblance to the shape of its shell.
Those were quite rare IMO, one of them is still displayed in Lešany muzeum these days.

"Turtle" is a cute and fitting nickname!

Got a start on the stamped turret, I still need to sort the internals out but the hard part (the actual shape of the turret) is done. It's a deceptively complicated shape with a lot of curves of varying radii. Nothing matches the cast turret, every dimension and angle is different; even the parts that are common between them like the hatches and ventilator are spaced differently!

It's got the stamped roadwheels to match, and I might try doing the stamped drive sprocket as well.
