So here is how my latest poison is shaping up. The Russ variant will be part of my Narmenian 1st Task Force. I wanted a different feel for their tanks; something to put them apart from the rest of my Krieg Armoured Force. I still need to do some rivet work and minor details before i paint. The overall scheme will come from 1914-1930 era French armor to give it the very different feel.

I wanted the whole conversion to very simple and believable. Something that the Narmenians could produce on their own and fast in the time of low armour numbers. As I said earlier a lot of inspiration comes from the Lee or Grant tank of ww2. I hope to hear what you guys think!!!!

I like the look, but I'm unsure if its a good idea to lose the turret mount for the battle cannon.

Also, good god you have a lot of tanks (shelf in the background).

My thoughts exactly!
I think it's an interesting design. Given the mass behind you, I could see how the standard Russ my need an overhaul!

that is a very nice conversion. Given the calibre of the battlecannon it does make more sense for it to be hull mounted to deal with the recoil

I really like it, however I would say maybe moving the door to the right of the battle cannon to the other side of the handles. There's no way someone could really hand ammo or have a crewmember crawl out of that because the breech would be right there. I think moving it over to the other side would be pretty good. All in all I applaud your skill at bringing this to life.
