ChTZ T-34 Stalingrad

[Rich H]

Thanks 

The M1927 I got a bit carried away with the details

[Shahbahraz]

Those look excellent, are they 3d printed?  And if so.. where woul done find such STLs?  (And I wish I could find 3d print crew figures... having to convert a dwindling stock of plastics gets wearing.)

[Rich H]

Yes all 3d prints

The 122mm is a comission test piece so unavailable but the 76.2mm is available below.  Resin print only though as some of the bits are tiny!

I don't do crews, these are Empress SCW nationalist 88 crew

Lucky I have a Photon S then,    - bookmarked for when the first pay comes through from the new contract.

I printed at 0.03mm layer height, I don't usually bother but as it was a relatively small print I tried it.  Very happy with the result.

Going to draw some ammunition and crates at some point.

[Rich H]

Well as usual things got out of hand...

I've nearly finished building the Stalingrad factory militia!  Just a few left to paint...

6 twelve man militia teams (including two unarmed men per squad)
1 eleven man NKVD team
1 NKVD MMG
2 light mortars (37mm spade mortars)
3 AT rifles
2 two man tank hunter teams
1 Lt plus runner
1 commissar plus assistant
2 light howitzers (M1927 76.2mm regimental guns)
1 medium howitzer (M1910 122mm howitzer)
3 factory T-34
1 factory tractor

To be painted:  15 rifles, 3 AT rifle teams, 2 light mortar teams, and a few gun crews. 

I'm working on printing two or three gun limbers

I have just read through the entire thread and love the concept. Its been executed perfectly, what a great range of vehicles and figures you have created.
I hope the Welsh Open goes well, and look forward to your next project.

[Rich H]

  I'd be amazed if I'm not last!  Not plays in 2 years I reckon!

I'm not quite finished with this project yet, I've scaled back the table plan to just the factory, so I need the corner towers and some scatter for the inside.  It'll be jammed into my terrace table and it can be a little piece of Preston - Strand road works to be exact.

Ah yes, the famous fight for the Tractor Factory Bisto Factory ……Arkwright Mill. 

[Rich H]

 
In Lancashire so it was planes, trucks, tanks and cloth round here

All gone but the planes (and they keep my lights on)

[Rich H]

The Militia have been rounded up again and will be shipped off to Lincoln early Feb.
Slight change as I can use the Tractor Factory Selector so making a few tweaks
18 Dice, not as many men (Only 60 infantry: the NKVD and free squad have been removed) but it will have a full compliment of 3x T34s this time

Amazing collection! Absolutely brilliant!
