Turan I (15mm)
« on: October 22, 2018, 12:08:12 AM »

This is a Hungarian Turan I of WWII in 1:100 scale, from a model by m_bergman. I've added some track pins to give the tracks a bit more visual interest, but otherwise the model is unchanged from his original design. The figure is a 15mm German from Battlefront.


I've also done and printed a version with some rivet detail as well. Whether it's a worth-while addition I'll find out when I get it painted, but I do like a good rivet on my tank. One thing I can be sure of is that they will make painting the turret markings more difficult. Ah, the sacrifices one must make for one's art.

This is the version of the Turan I based on the same model as that in the previous post, but with rivets added.

They are monstrously out of scale of course, but nevertheless I do prefer it with rather than without. The rivets on the original vehicle were a fairly prominent feature.

Nice painting and model.

Not really knowing the prototype, the one without looks better (saying that a 38(t) without rivets would look odd so I suspect perception is the key).

I love the casual way you mention adding track pins and then rivets. Print me impressed.

Thanks Fitz.

I had seen the article (my brain had originally suggested a VAG people mover!).

I"know" the 38(t) is covered in rivets and their absence would look odd, I can see but do not "know" the Turan is also covered in them.

As I mentioned above, perception is key.
