Bravo, Todd! (...) Hmm. Have you tried using chains? If you got the girth right, you might be able to chain a small platform to their backs. Plus, the chains would make 'em look tougher. Don't forget the spikey bits. Jeff Elliott (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.duplo, lugnet.build.mecha)

You are right, getting the angles of turrets is very difficult. The Tiger1 was relatively easy compared to the T34/85. I think this version is around the 6th rendition I attempted and I am still not completely happy with it, but it is close enough (...) (25 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
