Thank you . I guess it comes from being a model builder instead of a gamer . They do say there is a game involving these 1/56 scale tanks , but I haven’t seen it .  I just like to build tanks . Started off with Airfix & Matchbox in the early 70s , on to Monogram 1/32 scale mid 70s and then Tamiya 1/35 with a sprinking of Bandai 1/48 , man I still wish I had those kits .   Between work and a family the 80s & 90s just blurred by with out a minute , it seemed, of free time for any hobby stuff , although I did end up with a large collection of HO scale model trains , none of which every made it out of the box and  onto a piece of track . Another bunch of cool toys I wish I still had . Came back to tanks when 1st Warlord plastic T-34 kit came out . It looked cool and I thought I would build it and add a few detail bits and bobs and then give it to one of the local hobby shop guys who played Bolt Action .  But it was so much fun to build , plus you could store 3 on a shelf in place of a 1/35 scale kit , I kept it and started adding more kits to my collection , most getting some sort of detailing , wether crew , open hatches , stowage or battle damage .  Hence the multiple versions of each tank .  I should probably start another project thread . I did one a few years ago building  a trio  Tiger IIs  , but found  that unless someone was there to take pictures of what I was doing and ask why I was doing it, I would just build to my hearts content and the kit would be finished with a before and after photo.  Not much insight shared if you go about it like  that.  Maybe try building  2 drastically different kits might slow process down , I’ll give that a try .Tank Riders wip
