Just for amusement, take a look at this T-35 multi-turreted Soviet heavy tank I've recently finished: link It's an entirely metal QRF model at 1/100th scale (15mm), painted in the Russian Green basic pattern; not always a good choice to be fielded in battle, but always impressing, don't you believe (compare it to a captured PzKpfw IV F2 in my second photo). Painting it was an overall enjoying experience, in spite of those boring first steps -the model had some annoying flashes as well as uneven surfaces, which had to be leveled by intensive filing.

As soon as we get around to Early War, I've got to get me a few of them. Nice work. |

Gaming Models makes one too, and it can be painted up very nicely. And yes, they are impressive. When I was painting up my pair of them, the wife came by, looked at them and said, "Are those in the same scale as your other models?"

I have a pair of our T-35s. As you say, pretty much hopeless on the field but very impressive looking on the table. :-) |

Nice work! I have a T-35 tank in my 12mm Minifig collection for early Eastern Front and it looks impressive but certainly does not perform that way. And yes, it does look like a different scale even from the normal tank. |

Oh yes the T-35. Looked great in concept but a failure in the field. I think it looks cool in comparison to the puny looking Pz IV. Nice work. Your right John I can't wait to get ahold of some Char B's myself. Salut y'all! Bruce the Texas Grognard |

try them in I ain't been shot mum – as each turret is independet of the others I give it 6 separate cards… |

I have a pair of the FOW ones, very impressive! If looking for a good resource highly suggest:
"Land Battleship: The Russian T-35 Heavy Tank" by Maxim Kolomiets and Jim Kinnear, Barbarossa Books, Essex, England,2000. |

I have the Minifig model too; did you leave all the turrets to rotate, or glue them in? Believe I had to glue the smallest turrets in, as the little  s were just too prone to fall out. |
