DerekMc Posted November 27, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 27, 2023 My local IPMS chapter is having a T34 group build. A deceased member left a large number of 1/35 Tamiya T34 kits to the club so several member decided to have a bit of fun. My contribution is a bit different because I decided to use a 1/72 T34 kit from the stash and display it on a enlarge Advanced Squad Leader playing piece for the specific tank. Here is what the playing piece looks like. Each of the numbers and letters have value in the game. The 76L is the gun size. The 16 is movement points ect. Here's the work in progress. I need to adjust the background color. It needs a bit more yellow. The font isn't exact but close. The plan is to mount the paper on a nice wood plaque and add some scenery such as grass tufts and a bit of rubble. Now to finish the tank and adjust the base color. I have to figure out what to do for the bow mounted machine gun. It was captured by the carpet monster...grrrrr.... ccoyle, Old Collingwood, mtaylor and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bow mounted machine gun has a distinctive look. It shouldn't be all that hard to make one up from a paperclip and a bit of styrene.
