No, I have not seen that.

Hey Shaso, another dakka thread had this guy linked up. there's some interesting looking stuff there, but what would interest you the most i think is the Leviathin down near the bottom of the page.

Interesting stuff, but it all seems a little smallish for some reason. But definitely interesting design concepts.

the leviathan looks at least as very good conversion material...:




those treads could be usefull otherwise...and the hull and turrets also...

Yeah, I was looking at the small hatches and driver area sizes, but I suppose conversion could fix those

That Leviathan looks about the size of the Sabre oddly enough.

i guess the guardsmen inside have to get real friendly to each other... the space in the hull looks as if they have to stay real close to each other^^

Looks just big enough for a 4 man crew

he has one on the first page that has four sets of treads instead of 6 and is about half the cost, since i won't be using the top for anything just the treads, i might order that one so i can make some grot tanks. a friend of mine has a scroll saw that would allow me to saw the treads in half down the middle, essentially turning four sets of treads into 8. That is if their thick enough, which for grots they should be.

Saw that one too!

I have been working at "Imperializing" my Sabres so that they at least have a more 40k feel as it were.

Also got more work done on the Perun:

Back tread units done.
[/img]

Front tread, lower units also done.
[/img]

Still more work to be done on the treads(At least the upper ones that can bee seen when the tank is on the table for battle!

The spots Vik spotted have been "filled", Here they are waiting for the glue to dry so I can file them to a more uniform level.

you even do the underside of the tracks? you`re a track maniac^^ by the way...i always wondered why vehicles do not get bases as well...? is there a reason beside basecontact? if i made a very small base without too much overlapping?
the those spots^^ look good, and i knew you couldn´t keep yourself away from the sabre for long^^ the name tag looks in my opinion the best! did you ever try to make one like this on your own with thinplasticcard? a bigger one? that`be cool!
have you thought about breaking up that big space on both trackcovers of the sabre?
by the way yet again, saw your putty work on the perun...that beast is mainly a beast for all the hard and cool work you`ve pu(ttied) in^^ feel very proud about of your tremendous effort to the art of tankmaking!

Thanks vick, Yeah, I could not leave the underside totally bare. As for bases, no need, as the tanks have a large enough "footprint" to work off of, and the weapons are where you fire from instead of the edge of the base as Infantry do.

LOL! Have Sabre, will work on them! I may just greay stuff the name scroll of the Perun to get a bigger one, and i need to find one for the second Sabre. If you mean the big rounded space on the track covers or the sides, I have something for the sides done.

I have yet to do putty work on the Perun tank as yet....Now get ready for more pics!

The truck, partial paint and then I used a flash!

The Sabres also have Aquila symbols of their flanks.

seems you´ve been verrrrry busy mate, lots of blue tanks and stuff^^ to tell you the truth... due to the flash maybe the first thought that came to my mind when seeing the truck: LEGO^^ the blue is just the lego blue^^ i had some thought come to my mind regarding that lil fella...why not build up on his platform a big and i doo mean BIG communication aperatus? thus he could be a good additionand also a very cool and unique objective marker...

your tanks look very good in royal blue^^ and the 40k upgrads looks already very convincing... the only thing i would look agian over is the viewpoint over the heavy bolter... i think there needs to be another layer of greystuff as of now there seems to be too much uneveness...

and the claymore looks soooo long...holy...i realized from my youth that i have seen quite some russian parades marching in berlin... mostly on telly mind you as i was born on the other side of the fence...we did only get the british and some american parades but nevertheless those i have seen of the russuians....this claymore looks right out of these footages...^^

They are all painted with the Shadow gray, but alas it always loves to show as blue!^^ I will be sanding down the gray stoff to get rid of the rough edges of the viewpoints of the Heavy Bolters, no worries there. I may make the truck some sort of comms objective, or something.

Ah yes, I was only allowed to be on the Allied side of Germany and not make the East German and Russian Army mad. Saw their frontier wall during a visit near Hell Germany.(They even had a wood carving devil)

But yes, the Claymores are my BTR's^^(Chimeras) due to the way they resemble the Russian transports.

More pics of the Perun.

Track tensioners are visible, and so are the wheel caps all set up, like the International!
[/img]


The back sprocket wheel end caps for their own axles.
[/img]


Left side!
[/img]

[/img]

gosh...there is so much detail that you made... two sized of plasticcard rods make one axle of the sprocket wheels? you must have a very steady hand...
on another issue...where did you say had you that grill vent on the last pic? i need to get that one myself...bet thats not possible but i like the ovenlook about it...

An Ork Battle wagon engine cover is where the "vent" came from. Sprocket end is made from 4 sizes as they come in the packet.

oh i see (4!), i meant only those smaller ones lining the lower length....
so ork battlewagon...will do a research for that...

Well, the smaller wheel caps are just 2 piecers.

The grill was part of the plastic kit from GW.

yep found it on a bit site... but i guess i have to think up another way for that look...

just 2 piecers

you gotta be kidding right? JUST? well this is fiddly work ^^

Cool.

Well, yeah, one length of each used.

In competition with the T-100 Leman Russ series, and the T-90D Mazurka series, the T99 Sabre
[/img] Featuring a turret mounted missile launcher, and 125mmMain smoothbore cannon, hull mounted Heavy Bolter and can actually use either HE or APFSD rounds as well as anti-tank/anti-air missiles. Sophisticated electronic detection and vision/target acquisition package as well as an in depth defense package, the T-99 should see a good chance at combat operations beyond the scope of the competition! Capable of comfortably holding a 4 man crew with the loader replaced with an autoloading "arm" while the T-90D has a three man crew but can be more limited by it's smaller size for prolonged operations.

The T-100 is an older more venerable model of simpler construction, making it a less comfortable machine of it's crew of 4-6(depending if sponsons are fitted), but having the benefit of cannabilizing similar dersigned Russ series tanks from potential hostiles in the field.

The T-99 though is however for it's class a more versatile and efficient machine for the future of combat and will be of superior range due to a more fuel efficient engine. The T-99 is also rated for all combat environments and is even amphibious!


Once again.T-99

T-90D

The T-100

All three competing to see which shall be the Iron Fist of the Emperor!

cool! you must have read a thousand description of m,arketing advertisments for tanks...at least your fluff reads that way... the language you use is very fitting! makes me rethink if i need a tank...but i guess somewhere before i said that too^^

um... on a more grave note...i detected a major mouldline on the T90-D...barrel...the light catched it quite disturbingly^^

That was where the parts joined together actually, I may have to go and file that down, and then repaint it! Good catch!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
And yes, I have seen plenty of such brochures for the tanks.

or you do something to cover it... you could add a bit of basilicum again to make plants do camo yet again...but i think a bit of a redo is better...

Must sand or file it down, and another thing, the brass grills arrived! I can now make a better engine cover!

i hope you can pry off the current engine cover with minimal loss and effort, i will look forward to see what you ordered!

by the way... i couldn´t compose myself any longer and ordered about nearly all of zinges whole range of selfcast stuff...will keep you informed as to what this will be used for...

Oh that cover was designed to come out, never glued it on, made it removable on purpose as i want to paint the engine!

Ah, broke down and could resist the Zinge no more!

i knew that... sometimes my mind is like a drawer...always stuck...

and zinges stuff looks very good on pics so i had to find out in the flesh/resin first hand^^

And finally, on the Perun.

looks nice now installed...but i wonder if you could have got something cheaper from a DIY store...that brassedged stuff surley wasn´t cheap? are did you get it mostly for free?
