Here’s a couple I built as knocked out / abandoned vehicles . BA Panzer IV G , that I opened the turret side hatches , driver/bow gunner hatches and then thought , it might as well have engine trouble as well . I picked the left engine hatch because beneath that is the radiator which is easier to bodge up than the engine on the right . I used a 1/35 rad from an Academy APC cut to fit , and itlooks the part  The T-34 is a BA / Rubicon kit bash . I had the hull left over from my T-34/Tiger project , and I had some extra Rubicon bits  ( turret , wheels , hatches )  given to me . I’ve always wanted to build one these swamp / mud bogged tanks from the eastern front , the Russian lost a lot that way . A lot of their early war tanks had no radios so they pretty much played follow the leader , and if leader drives into swamp most of the platoon end up there as well . I cut the right side wheels in half and didn’t add any on the left to give the hull the sunk in look ,cut open the driver’s hatch , added a shim to the Rubicon turret so it fit the Warlord hull , faked up a gun beach and seats in the turret  , and added a few bits from the parts box . Not a high scoring game piece but a great piece as scenery .Also used the base to try  the  Vallejo Russian Mud weathering effect product , worked a treat
