[WIP] T-34-85 1/100 Zvezda plastic model - making it look suitable to use in 1980s gaming

Soviet Armoured Reserve (mobilised War Reserves stock) T-34-85 Model 1953

Pendaken 10mm T-34 (single) fuel drums fitted to rear of Zvezda 1/100 T-34-85, as smoke canisters. Cut down pieces of gun barrels from spare tank models, as snorkels for deep wading. Bit of a bodge representation, rather than 100% accurate.

Still to do, sculpt a 'canvas cover over the gun mantlet' and create a 'night driving lamp'.

Planning to use them in games of 7 Days To The River Rhine (7DTTRR), where they'll be outmatched by near-enough everything they go up against. But, there'll be six of them and two SU-100 tank destroyers (using Homebrew rules/points of 20 points each for a SU-100). So those eight Soviet WW2 relics will only cost 148 points in the game, whereas a top-of-the-line NATO tank is in the cost region of 80 to 90 points each.  The WW2 relics will struggle head on against two Abrams, Challengers, or Leopard 2s, but you get five or more of them hitting a NATO tank's flank armour and the odds are not bad.
