Custom 1/32 T-34/76

Post by PanzerArm » Wed Feb 09, 2011 6:59 pm

I've been very busy lately working on new customs in my favorite scale. Besides the sdkfz 233 and late Stug III G, I have been working on converting an FOV t-34 chasis that I bought from Der Kommandant aka Renny.

I wanted to make the T-34/85 into a T-34/76. As you can see I added a new turret, and replaced the wheels. After adding the first coat of green today (to get a feel if I liked the color), I put the tracks back on to get some pics for you guys. Let me know what you think. Remember, it's still a work in progress!

We will be having family visiting over the next few days, and they will be occupying my office/hobby room, so unfortunately this probably won;t get any attention until next week.

If you guys want I can post some pictures of my other two works in progress. I built an interior for the sdkfz 233 that I am pretty proud of :D

Alright, you guys asked for it. They aren't as far along as the T-34, so the "work-in-progress" status applies even more to them! Here you go:

FOV Stug Conversion -> Late Stug ausf. G w/ waffle zimmerit, saukopf mantlet, and remote MG.

Monogram sdkfz 232 conversion -> sdkfz 233 (with L/24 howitzer)

I will probably post these vehicles in their own thread once they're a little further along, but there you go, a sneak peak! And if you look closely in the background you can see other vehicles slated for conversion. Those have barely left the brainstorming phase though and are probably still a few months away.

Most of those are probably kits. Although I do hope that they can be done in full builds.
