Was surfing the googles when I came across a bunch of pics of this:

I got inspired to mess around and with some various Evergreen plastic and paint and mud:

Nice T34 mod.

What did you use for the fuel drums?

Thanks!!

For the drums I used some n scale air brakes I found at a train shop. I occasionally hit the train store circuit and look for z or n scale items that I can improvise with. These cylinders were the right size for "barrels" (when cut in half) so I bought a few packs.

I see a company across the pond makes barrels for micro armor, may give them a try sometime.

The crane came from extras from the Brumbar kit. I was going to add pullies scavenged from the diamond t wrecker kit but thought it'd look too busy...

There are 3 companies that do fuel drums

Ros and Heroics & Perfect Six both in white metal

Master's of Military which are 3d printed.

Hope this helps you.

Was thinking of trying an H&R purchase of these barrels and other accoutrements. Have any of you used any of these barrels and can you post pics if you have? Just wanted to see how they looked in conjunction with GHQ. Some of the scaling can be off with these add-ons, and with barrels even a little difference could make it look really odd. Thanks.

I just got some and can post something later tonight. I would say the H&R barrels are quite small and look about right IMHO. I also got the the track and m113 road wheels. Very nice and generic enough to be used for lots of vehicles.

That is exactly what I was going to order for my GHQ minis!!!!

It would be really helpful and great to see how you use them. I'm very interested in those tracks and road wheels, can think of some cool places to put them...

BurtWolf,

I certainly admire your patience, dexterity, and vision. That is admirable, as well as enviable work!
