SleeperService Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Sorry for forgetting this for a long time. I've added you to the list Arniec. I hope you're still interested.

PlaStix Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Hi @SleeperService - @Badder has offered to be The Enabler - over in the Pz.IV STGB chat section. Well done Badder and thank you. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I actually thought I had put my name down for this one, but it seems not. Any chance of rectifying that and finding room for me? Probably be building Zvezda's new 1/35 T-34/85 in post war use, or a Finnish one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Well Done Comrades! We are now the required number modelling minion and Badder are the last Heroes for this GB. Extras are always needed so don't be shy you can plan with certainty now. I'll message Lord Enzo immediately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 This one is in the mix for 2020. SleeperService will confirm dates in due course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 Well Done Comrades! We are now the required number I have picked 22 Feb to 24 May 2020 to minimise the Armour GB overlap at the time. I suspect it will be here a lot quicker than we imagine EDIT: I've picked my subject; The very last 76mm frying pan T-34 in service. North Korean with T-55 running gear. Uncertain when they were retired but they've appeared in museums so must be finished with now. Not a bad run. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I reckon I may go Hobbyboss 1/48 for this one (in Afghanistan): I've wanted to model it for a while. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 OKB Grigorov make the roadwheels you'll need. Good choice. Be very frugal with cement on the tracks, the bond/dissolve boundary is very small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Already got 'em fella.....I've been prevaricating over this build for quite a while now (the HB kits are quite intimidating and I really don't want to mess one up). Mind you, I could still use a decent etched fret for all the metalwork on the hull.....Is there one you would recommend (I have all the HB 1/48 T-34 kits)?

I've used the Hauler sets and am quite happy with them. The grille set for the Tamiya T-34 gives you a much finer rear screen than the moulded in one (HLX48034) and the T-34/76 and /85 mudguards fit all the hulls. Hauler stuff HERE You may need to replace the kit gun barrel Aber do one, some of them are bent on the sprue and won't stay straight no matter what I've tried. The Part set for the Tamiya T34/76 below is a another option for the curved fender models as you get grilles, rear fuel boxes, mudguards, and some useful detail bits too. As Tamiya seem to have got the front hull wrong somewhere it'll take a bit of fudging into place, but if you can find a set at a good price it's pretty good. Nigel at Parabellum is my go to man but use e-mail as he seems to work all hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Fairly certain this is what I'm going to build for this STGB: I got it a while back and I know there's some issues with it, primarily relating to the overdone cast textures in places. I'll see what I can do about those! Kind regards, Stix 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two blokes dressed the same at an event will compliment each other on their superb taste and style, two women will glare daggers at each other. Removing heavy texture is likely easier than adding missing though. Should be an interesting comparison. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Bob Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Just reading through odds and ends and found this GB in the planning stage, I have a couple of Dragon's 1/35 kits in the stash, T 34/85 with bedspring armour, early T34/76 and an AFV Club T34/85 with clear hull and full interior detail, do not know why I bought that? There is an SU 100 as well if that allowable, lots to choose, sign me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's anything on a T-34 chassis including the first version of the T-44 which used T-34 components. Long time period, lots of users, I hope it goes well too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Greetings Tankisti! I have received communication from the Supreme Leader Lord Enzo. We are requested to reschedule this STGB to 13 June to 13 Sept 2020. I hope this causes no issues. I know it's going to be a PITA for some with school holidays and the like but I'm sure accommodation can be reached if more time is needed. However I'm certain that the true smasher of Nazism will be well represented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
