Trying out my hand at a slum, as a base suitable for anything modern to sci-fi to post apoc....by changing a thing or 2. Plenty left to do. Simple foam core clad wth paper and cardboard.

Nice wrinkly tin.

How did you make it?

Gunbird · « **Reply #63 on:** June 19, 2018, 10:10:52 AM »

The wrinkly tin? Paper craft stuff, just get the cardboard labelled as Fine instead of Medium. Works great for 20 and 15mm, pretty cheap as well.

The entire thing? Just ran some free styrofoam through a foamcutter for the shapes, pinned and glued a few of those together and just let my imagination run wild (after a very sobering Google search for "slums"). Now just trying what works, what not, how much time it takes etc. One coat of slightly watered down Mod Podge is doing a fine job at toughening everything up.

Very organic - looks liek ti was a lot of fun to make.

Doing a bit of modding. S-Model T-26 as T-26 and OT-130. Spot the error I made.

There's three versions of the flamethrower tank (one of the great things about the T-26 series) - you need to shift the flamer to its left and add an MG? I had to check that (and I don't know if I'm right), as it looks completely fine.

Gunbird · « **Reply #67 on:** June 20, 2018, 01:35:49 PM »

I'm used to tanks having a turret basically centred. Took me a bit to see it, but the regular T-26 has the turret on the left side, and the OT series has the turret on the right side. Oh well, lesson learned, I doubt the OT-130 will see a lot of action anyway, but at least I have it.

I know this s a secondary source at best but these work in progress shots do show some left handed flamethrowers.

Thanks, but sadly the real OT-134 has the flame projector in the hull and a normal 45mm gun turret. Oh well, one day I will build another correct hull and it will all be ok

the Finns used some right hand turret mounts with 45mm gun turrets and added a Soumi SMG to the hull.
Also some of the vickers 6 tonners were right hand turrets.

The turret was shifted to the right to make room for the fuel tanks also they are one man turrets.
The 45mm was a two man turret.

I think the Left hand OT on the Rubicon site is a mistake... there is a LH OT-130 at Kubinka but it's probably a mashup of bits or a teletank.

Ah, yes. There are some labeling issues on the original post. Sorry.

Note to self: do own research ^__^.

The TT26 teletank had a left hand turret and a flamethrower in the 45mm Mantlet. (Zaloga T26 page 27).

Starting with a incomplete Matchbox Panzer 2C, which now has a new lease of life as a MG Bunker.

And more progress on my S-Model German H38 for anti Partisan duty - stowage box from the PSC Honey sprue and a Trench skid from the S-Model French H38. Needs some chain and a commander.

Great work- the dug in tank looks great.
