Destroyed tanks ?

[ronan]

I'd like to use some wrecks, ( for the look, and objectives )
An early T34, early Pz ( Pz III ?) and a Sherman should cover all the needs for the European front (even for the last months of the war, they only will be wrecks)

What do you think ?

( I know nothing about moulding, may be there some broken casts that should be sell instead of being sent to the "melt pile" ?)

[barbarian]

I guess bogged down vehicles could easily be done.
Then they could be used as bogged down or entrenched.
Catastrophic destruction souldn't be that hard to do with a dremel to make a hole for the turret, with the turret next to the AFV.

This would be fun!




Though most of the time I think ruined tracks and open hatches seem to be the order of the day.

Did you ever see me doing something like that without hurting myself ? 


But I will think about it, thank you.

( I once bought cows from pendraken, and tried to turn some of them into dead cows, by removing the base....  Know I only use standing and alive cows ! )

WTF?!

Well, I understood what he meant.

He wanted to create some models of these:



but it didn't work out so well so now he just uses models of these:

And it was certainly better than if I tried to say it in French

Ronan,
That sounded painful.
I also understood what you meant immediately! If I tried that in French you would be laughing into the middle of next week!

[Techno]

So...Has the tank on the right been modified as an anti-aircraft gun.....Or has some commander type shouted 'SIT'.
I need to know this sort of thing.

Cheers - Phil

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Very silly Phil.....

Bet when the tank was hit he said something like "sit"!

[fsn]

These could be a bit more of a project.

No problem  ! You may correct me !
I'm glad most of you understood, and some of you translated and explained !

FSN : I won't try to make these kind of wrecks 

[Ithoriel]

I've got some of Peter Pig's wrecked tanks for my 15mm CoC games .... if I ever get the stuff painted!

"Dead" PzIVs, Tigers and T34s make a change from trees, walls and boulders as things to hide behind.

I am now being distracted from my painting of Armada ships by an idea for a "dead tank" objective marker ..... dammit!!

Don't you hate it when someone gets you painting something else

We had a Chain of Command Campaign at our Club - but they made it all early war .  So I had to buy a load more kit and paint it, rather than what I was actually doing at the time

Then someone starts a Saga campaign and again I have to get some suitable figures and paint them.  Hopefully I can get on doing my own stuff now .

Still at least I can bleme my need to purchase stuff on someone else
