Well, I was actually thinking of using a tractor as a base and then add steel plates on there for a more accurate mockup. Unfortunately, even the cheapest would go at a minimum... in the United States, for around $50,000. Now... they can easily purchase an operational T-34 for around $30k, and customize it however they want. Besides, Russia is closer!!
