I've converted the three Zvezda 1:100 plastic T-34 tank models into something more futuristic/post-apocalyptic for my Stalingrad 2072 project, using bits from Ground Zero Games and 15mm.co.uk. Here is the latest work-in-progress:

Awesome! I did a similar thing for my Neo-Sovs using 28mm/ 1:48 T-34s. Keep us posted! |

I would have used 1:87 T-34s, but hey…they look good. Some pictures w/ infantry? |

Very nice. I like the conversion. What paint scheme will you use? |

Kind of disturbs me because they look more like Weird World War II than 2072 post apoc. Curious about your rational behind using a 140 year old tank frame instead of something along the lines of the T-80 or T-90? Khurasan's Red Faction tank has the futuristic Soviet look, then maybe greeblie it up like Mad Max for the post apoc look. Just wondering. Unless you plan to double-duty the armor for WWWII and post apoc, then by all means a good cost saving idea. |

You'd hate what I'm doing then.I boughtseveral of the Zvezda German and Russian kits for similar,and want to add more.The idea is that they would be antiquated rusty hulks for a Rebel faction,die in droves types. |

Didn't some one write that WWIV will be fought with T-34's? If you can find scads of T-80's abandoned in the woods in the Ukraine, no reason for T-34's to be kept in a vast underground tank park waiting to be scrapped or used for target practice.
Don't forget Arty tractors, engineering vehicles, ad-hoc APC/battle taxis and drone tanks, you can do a lot with that chassis. Or any tank chassis, mix them up with others. |

Great idea – and a T-34 can be kept running a lot easier than a T-80 |

You've all convinced me – these will go to a future Weird war project while I'll use Khurasan Red Lightnings for the Reds! |
| Moqawama | 08 Dec 2012 4:32 a.m. PST |
Lol, actually more people agreed with the T-34 choice than criticized it! However, hey, it's your game! Do what you feel right. |
| Golan2072 | 08 Dec 2012 4:41 a.m. PST |
Hmmm… I might use these as scrapyard light tanks, and Khurasan Red Eagles as the main tanks for the Reds. |
