Thank you! and again, thanks for showing the word I was looking for, Dikobraz, much more imposing than Ezh!

I have been a Tank fan since I was a kid.

The Perun looks good with some colour on , in fact she is the best looking tank in your arsenal imo . she could be produced by forgeworld shes that good .

Such flattery! It would be nice to have such a job if it were offered, but alas, not likely to happen.

but thats not because of lack of quality on your part...rather the spoonheads at FW for not recruiting modlers on such boards as this...really one would expect the occaisonal headhunter to apear here from time to time...
and for tank loving... it is rather easy to fall in love with tanks...the don´t ask for much and give so much in return... if you feed them enough they wont get tired (get it? as lame as bringing the thread back opn track....muaaaahhhaa), you canb have a hell of a good time with them and if someone oggles to long on them then you can runèm down or mow èm down...see it is a win win win winwinwin...situation^^

Well, likely because they do not view things as much here. Yeah, tanks have plenty to give as long as you feed them well. Hehehehehe!
Glad that many here are enjoying my tanks on view!

call about love on first sight^^

This is were the treadheads hang out!

lol...

"back on track, I hit the sack,
it's been to long I'm glad to be back
yes, I'm let loose
from the noose
that's kept me hanging about
I keep looking at the thread
cos' it's getting me ahead
forget the hearse cos' I'll never die
I got 2 dice
snake eyes
using every one of them and drivin' wild

'cos I'm back
yes, I'm back
well, I'm back
yes, I'm back
well, I'm back
back
well I'm back on track
yes, I'm back on track

back in the back
of a giant track
number one with a plasma cannon
with a powerpack
yes, with a bang
on a gang
they've got to wreck me if they want me to hang
'cos I'm back in the track
and I'm dealing the flak
no one's gonna get me in another tank trap
so look at me now
I'm just making my play
don't death or glory, just get out of my way

heh.

and lexx was cool...mostly due eva haberman...boy had i a crush on her... normaly i am not into blondes but she...whoeee^^

I know what you mean aabout Eva ^^

Well, the Sabres and Claymore will get their shinies tomorrow.

oi , since your still on... i just pop a question to you:
how do you treat your rivets for your monster tank, and how should i treat mine...paitwise speaking...do you just implement them with the camopaint thats at that specific point and should i do that too or should i bling them up a treat? i have revieted up one side of the trackssystem and now i begin to think about painttreatment...

My two cents would be to paint 'm up just with the regular camo. Generally, it looks a bit 'off' when they're all neatly metallic. A tank is put together before it's painted.

You can always have them stand out at a later stage. Accentuate them with some rust streaks, or paint just some of them up in metallic, as if an armour plate has just been replaced etc.

Pretty much the way I am going Meph, some will have "chipped" and then rust added, and drips of rusty streaks from all of them as the Perun is to be an old gal. BTW, I have made it so venerable a design that it has 2 void shields!

Here is my recon APC i've made from an old toy tank and spare predator parts, of course is still a work in progress and needs to be improved a lot, what do you think?

at meph: you`are right...of course then the rivets couldn´t be shiny (insert facepalm here...)

at shaso: what is a void shield?

basically a force field that goes on a tank.
