They all look great although I'm not that keen on the last one. I think I need to see a side profile pic.

I'm doing the same thing at the moment, making lots of turrets to go onto two-three Russ' so that I don't have to spend too much money and retaining a number of Russ variants before they roll out the new Russ kit

Thanks for the nice comments. I have a follow-up article now on BoLS as well, Russ Tank Variant Workshop Part 2. There are pictures of an Exterminator conversion there as well as stage-by-stage painting.
