KELLY'S HEROES SHERMAN

If you're recreating a scene from the movie, why not modify T-34s like the props guys did - it will be accurate - for the movie!

Yes, that would work(checks on DVD :-) ). Don't forget the tree which stops the Tiger from traversing anticlockwise, over the wall...

You *could* try putting a Tiger hull onto T-34 suspension, but I fear that the two tanks are not quite the same size, and that the movie prop is simply scaled to the size of the T-34.

Not as far as I know. However, there are some good looking heads from Historex that could work, such as one for a Napoleonic French sapper with a short beard and ponytail. ("queue").

Converting the T-34 shouldn't be too bad -- if you can find one of the ancient Tamiya Tigers and a DML T-34-85, all they did to the suspension was put disks over the road wheels to hide the suspension. Most of the rest is sheet metal, but you could "lift" the engine grilles from the Tiger with a a razor saw.

I've seen guys do one up and it looks good, the biggest tipoffs being the turret is too far forward and the five road wheel suspension.

Now, I did a 1/72 conversion some years back. I used a 1/72 T-34, and built a Tiger I hull around it with card stock. I then took a 1/76 Tiger I, (Airfix?) and used the engine grilles, exhaust, etc from the kit as applique to the bare hull. I used the kit Tiger I turret. Kim M

I thought I'd seen 4 figures being sold, OddBall, Kelly, Big Joe and Crap Game from a main line figure maker, Warriors maybe?

That would be why I don't think I'd go that way.

Have some pics posted here

Too late - what do you think "Three Kings" was supposed to be?

I think it had something to do with when they was assaulted by tigers in the Bocaz country. And I mean ASSAULTED!

They showed "3 Kings" on TV a couple of years ago. I tried to watch it, but switched the channel not even 5 minutes into it. As for "Kelly's Heroes", I got it on DVD as soon as it was released...
