Thanks so much fellas Herman one can only hope your momentary release of bodily fluids didn't cause too much destruction Much appreciated for everyones kind words.

While researching some final details for the T-34/76 I happened upon this translated into English from German. It was a Panzer operators take on the Russian tanks especially the T-34/76 that I'm working on.

I found it quite interesting and although a bit one sided it does give one a glimpse into the eyes of someone who firsthand experienced this tank and others in battle.

Bit late but I found that '76 with the concrete armour

Mr Bix that is truly unique and one of a kind for sure. I have never seen anything like it. I assume they built some type of framework and forms to fit all that concrete?

I could imagine using some styrofoam sheets to make the concrete in 1:16 scale and then building it up.

Oddly enough I was going to use actual concrete. The same stuff I used on my StuGIII but with steel reinforcing set into it to reduce brittleness.
Would be a well-cool tank to build for sure.

that would be one challenging and realistic build up Mr Herman. You've got my gears turning about in my head as I visualize this concrete beast.

So with a bit of progress and a few adult beverages I was able to add the spare parts and so a bit of a wash. I added the Peddinghaus decals ( that drove me crazy due to thier excessive thickness!)

The balkencruz on each turret side started as a decal and ended as hand painted.

I've always beenen fond of these decals when they were thin, but now they are very thick. I may have to change my source.

I got the Panzer outside this evening.

Thanks for looking

Carl
