Well, I saw this leman russ chassis laying around on my desk which I didn't use, when it suddenly struck me to make a Centaur out of it.
So I started with the track units, sawed them off the chassis and then I sawed off a piece in between the track units and from the upside, you can still see the joint in the picture is you look closely.
After that cut off the back off the main hull and used the front, the interior is made out off plasticcard, some bits of an old 1:35 truck kit(benches, driver's seat, steering wheel and the gearshift), some random imperial guard bits, and some bits of an 1:35 Tamiya Allied Accessory kit.

well, enjoy the pics.

a good start..

Should fill the centaur role nicely!
I think the model is nicely thought out and put together.

Its a pretty good start keep it up

It's a Leman Russ Kangeroo! (Kangeroo - British/Commonwealth Tanks converted to APC in WW2)

Love the concept and the execution of the tank is great. The details (bench seats) are fantastic, just what I like to see added to GW kits.

Prehaps you should thin your paint a little, should help with making your crewmen a little sharper.

Yes, something like that, haha thank you

the paint job makes it seem like your guardsman has a scat fetish, but other than that great job with the conversion

This is a really nifty conversion. Great work.

thank you

I see the leman russ kit isnt completely worthless after all. Nicest looking conversion I've seen w/ that kit yet!
