I am looking for examples of battle damaged armor and hasty field repairs I can model on some 15 mm scifi tanks. I am seeking a very ragged look for a warlord / pirate landing force. |

I should clarify I was looking for still functional not burned out hulks but thank you anyway 28 mm man. |

This one looks pretty bad, but I bet it was repaired!

Mission kill definitely. Crew most likely survived. Ship the vehicle stateside and it'll be rebuilt to the latest M1-whatever standard and sent back to the sharp end in about 6-8 weeks. |

I saw a doco on an M1 refit facility – amazing what Uncle Sam can salvage. |

Lion, Did the photo source indicate the weapon that did that? |

Probably done by the own crew with thermite if I had to guess |

If it burned it was scrapped. It affects the armor plating making it virtually useless. Salvaged for parts and components, but most everything was scrapped and recycled once it burned. |

Yes! heat and affective armor do not mix. Actual battlefield repairs are rare. Here is an added plate:
On right as you look at it. I assume to cover a hole. |

I think having a semi-wrecked tank towed by a recovery vehicle would be wonderfully humorous. "She can't move under her own power, but by gum the plasma turret still works! Just put a little English on the shot!" |

Thanks DyeHard the welded plate is exactly what I was looking for something that says I bought this tank at the arms bazzar and I can't get parts for it. Thornhammer that is a wonderful idea and will make it on the game table at some point… |
