So was actually quite happy with this. I's not quite finished, detailing needs work, but the main body is sorted. All plasticard, based upon the leman russ chassis, but the dimensions have been altered slightly to make it look bulky enough without track units.
The turret and wheels come from a 1/35 Luchs 8 wheeled vehicle, and I even brought the axles across and used them to support the wheels.
Detailing like I say isn't finished, but is well under way. The engine bay has a nice metal grille now, as does the custom built exhaust pipes. Happy with the turret too, the autocannon elevates, and the custom sniper rifle for the tank commander works well.
The front end is taking a bit of work, needs a decent vision slit on the right, but the heavy bolter mod I think works nicely.
Not had much time to work on this recently because of other things. I entered this into the competition over at WIP in its admittedly unfinished state. Erm, it came last. heh! Not sure if that's a critique of the design, the modelling or the photography, or some combination of all three. Of course some of the other vehicles were immense and I wasn't expecting to win, but last is a bit of a kick in the nuts.
Oh well, don't do this for fame and glory, do it because it keeps me off the streets 🙂
