I thought this may be of interest. Some pretty epic conversions in my opinion.

a retailiation teaser?^^
well so be it...looking good...seeing your blueish grey first i see again how difficult it is to make a convincing random pattern for camo... tried that one and it didn´t come of easy at all...yours looks even convincing with one color and then with the added green...blimey!

as for that línk of sicksix:

dang didnt work, was the valk done in a doublewinged WWI plane style...

might have to look further into that design for my own need later on...

Why thank you Vik! That is quite the compliment of my skill as a model maker. (I once dreamed of making models for Hollywood movies and shows, but CGI has taken over!)

seeing all this gunmovement going on (and i didn´t catch that the barbarette bolter was movable too) you could fully well name your tank porcupine^^

and yep, was totally meant as a compliment... and for the true connisseur some movies still make props...so i woudln´t stop dreaming but instead try to get your models shown on a broader scale...

Hmmm, I may have to see if there is a Russian word for such a naming!

LOL! it is a dying art likely for those who want to make low budget movies, but yeah, very possible to accomplish.

the way i see it, the props makeing is rather more timeconsuming and costbinding than CGI...and to tell you the truth... after seeing babylon 5 the series and the awful prequels to star wars... i wish they had done them with props... that would be much better...


guess there wont be a good and fitting word for porcupine be as the animal isn´t at home in russian speaking countries...as i recall..

I have found that Russia also has Hedgehogs, and those have quills.

It will be a very short name i found out, while not finding a Russian word for porcupine, they do have the Hedgehog, and the name for it in Russian is "Ezh".

Lol! such a short name for huge a tank is irony!

I think the name Hedgehog, or Ezh will be an unofficial "nickname" from the soldiers for the Perun!

Very nice work man, very inspiring. I have recently started modeling tanks, mainly historical tanks that I will just display. But I just started an IG army so that I can field some serious armor. Thank you for giving me inspiration to build up my armored division of my IG.

It is worth having the tanks for your IG trust me. I have over a dozen Leman Russ tanks along with all the other oddballs in this thread.

Yes, and it is all because of Biohazardcake giving that word to me!, the search engines could not find what I asked for.

And after being swamped with the standard modern designs, and the Leman Russ that has not changed in so many years,, I reemembered the bigger look to the olde tanks , the Char-1 being one I liked when I had the old Matchbox kit that had both it, and a FT-17 in a single kit! I kind of mixed the Mark-IV with the MK-VIII styles with the Char-1. Of course the Perun is wider than the MK-VIII "International" and the other tanks, but not by too much for the size reference.
