Awesome job.

This is some of the best IG work I've ever seen. I love the realism and the use of military modeling techniques. You should look into commissions if you are up to it.

Very cool armor A+ work

Wow, very cool looking. I like the almost WW2 effects on them.

Looks like they rolled straight out of WW2. In a good way.

Excellent jobs all round, very realistic.

Could I also ask, how difficult was the salamander kit to put together, in comparison to the mars alpha pattern kit?

Truly inspirational work.
I love the look of IG tanks and what I’ve just seen take first place!!!!
Keep up the good work….

They look awesome. I love how realistic the fabric looks. Top job.

Cheers guys, thanks for the feedback.
@ krionus, I've done a couple of the Salamander kits and had no problems. The open compartment is all one piece and just drops into the body of the tank.
(It's a Basilisk conversion kit). Only bit that I recall was fitting track guards, the Salamander part has some rivets on the sides that will need removing.
In comparison the Mars Alpha has more large components to glue, 2 x track sections, base armour plus front, top and rear resin pieces. So lots of elastic bands to hold it together whilst glue drying.










Here's some shots of my Hellhound:

WOW, Great Painting!

Love the fire bucket.

great work,i love the little details such as the fire bucket and i noticed you have colonel schaffer on one of the transports.

No Schaeffer, but this chap was from the same set:



Think he's called Grease Monkey

So awesome! Honestly these are among the best IG models I have ever seen!

Pretty amazing! Looks like some part of a museum diorama

Rather exceptional work. Love it.

and now I need to take a hammer to all my tanks

Wow, awesome realism achieved there. I bet their a sight to behold on the tabletop, and your grunts are exceptional too.

Its a great job on all aspects. Reminds me on some ww2 models we use to paint n modeling on 1:35 scale, awesome work mate!

Excellant work on all those tanks. Inspires me to spend more money on some armour.

Really good stuff. They have alot of character.

These look amazing. great job on the tanks. The crew's arevery characterfull

This army looks awesome! Great job, I love the vanquisher russ.

These are bloody awesome! I love em

How did you make the camo netting on the baneblade & valdor?

Awesome! I love the paintjob! I will be lifting your chimera conversion

Simply amazing! you should be very proud!

Beautiful work! Lots of nice touches!Among the many things that are cool, I really like the gun shields on the hatch weapons.

Thanks for all the feedback, I'm intending to start a WIP thread for the next tank, once i decide what to do . . .

In the mean time here's some other pics of Chimeras:

Awesome and awe-inspiring, absolutely wonderful tanks here.

How did you do the camo netting??

Woo Hoo - post #100

The camo netting is just pieces of medical gause, soaked in a mix of olive green paint, water and PVA. The paint colours the gause, the water makes it sag/hang with some weight and the PVA sets it hard. Once dry lightly dry brush with a light brown/sand tone - job done.
