    A very big thankyou to the playtesters too!

    It's only through their help these scenarios can be all that they are...

    It's the Dragon 1/35 T-34/85 model 1944 kit. (#6066)

    Good kit to build, everthing fits nicely with only a little trimming, individual track links with lot's of detail overall. Lot's of nice weld detail too. I've actually added additional weld detail around the entire circumference of the turret with remodelled stretch and conditioned sprue, and added some damage to the guards and fenders.

    Painted/Airbrushed with Tamiya and Testors paints, washed with citadel blackwash ink thinned about 1 in ten and repeated where neccesary, rust detail with Tamiya's rust weathering kit and red oxide, log provided courtesy of a gum tree in the back yard, persian rug courtesy of a tissue cut to size, rolled and detailed from the wifes Laura Ashley catalogue in humbrol enamels :D

    The tank is lighter in tone than appears in those snaps... damned crappy resolution too... murdered all my hours of weathering... :mad:

    I reckon I might take some decent photos with my canon eos 650 and see if I can't get them up :rolleyes:

    Thanks Man!

    I'd like to point out those shots are snapped in low res with my wifes mobile phone, which has subsequently murdered some of the weathering and detail, rust streaks etc...

    There's some Soviet tank riders to go on yet with a tank commander plus some additional 'loot'.

    The final presentation will be block mounted on some loverly hardwood for display ;)

    I have a couple of suggestions...

    1) Use rockets when your troops are WELL out of harms way because they are ALWAYS inaccurate. Always good at the start of the game for a roughing up if you take this into account.

    2) Get use to it... They often do as much harm as good if you're close... a bit like air support... (course you don't gotta be close for that ;) )

    I played this scenario against 2 opponents at the same time, one game ended in a major victory for me and the other in a major victory for my opponent. It wasn't all down to the rockets but it helped someone more in one of the games and it wasn't me...
