Simple question, Anybody got ideas on a Soviet T-55 Dio?[:D][:D][:D]
well, i think your gonna build a russian version right? i would built one in a ruggen terain with rocks, weeds, and other sool stuff. i would also make the fenders pretty dinged up and stuff. maybe you could put some russian tankers next to it lookin at a map or somethin… i duno [|)]
…Possibly a Russian T-55 in Afghanistan?
What were the oldest Iraqi armor found during OIF? I would think you could base a dio based on the Iran/Iraq war period. I don’t really know what you could use for figures though?
Thanks, for helping me out I’ve been [banghead][banghead] trying to think of one all weekend
I picked up the Tamiya T-55 at AAA in Atlanta last summer on sale, just for grins. Nice kit. Next thing I knew it was done. RATS! Now I want to integrate it into the Dio and I’m afraid I’m going to have to do a “little work” on it to give it that wrecked personality. Ok, lets see, soldering iron, Dremmel Tool, razor saw, …time for fun!
Hi there
Hey u could always b different and make a border war dio. Lots of T-55’s and 34’s 4 that fact. U could do 1 in the African bush if u r looking 4 something out of the norm. I have yrt 2 c a Border War dio. Hope this helps a bit.
Keep well.
Have you seen the movie “The Beast”?
Check the IMDB listing: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094716/.
If that doesn’t fire T-54/T-55 dio idea, nothing will!
Cheers!
Oh yeah, love that movie. When the 1/35th Hip comes out, I want to build a diorama of the scene where the Hip crew is delivering fuel to the T-55.
I always thought a big May Day dio would be cool, with about 10 T-55s in parade markings rumbling down the street. Easy dio, aside from building 10 T-55s!
Sounds like a good group project.
I like the idea from “The Beast.”
Other than that, I’d suggest checking out all the pictures you can find of T-55s, and see what catches your eye.
yeah, The Beast is good. try the Fulda Gap late "50s
