True, these glue/cut/file have yet to be filed, but I have only gotten the gunner area and top of turret riveted so far.

Dragons fear nothing, if it acts up, we breath magic fire that turns them into marshmallow peeps. We leaguers only cry rivets!

Are you using plastic glue for the rivets? CA won't be strong enough to hold whem while sanding/filing.

I plan on some armor like this
I drew similar shoulder armor, and some with extra layers, like lobster plate.

Skimed through the tread and love what I see here.
And glad for more treadheads!

P.S. This photo had inspired me to build a bridging tank a month or two ago and then seeing you talk about it reinforced that.
I was wondering if you had come up with any rules for sure a beast?

I was thinking of making a OC Sabre with a scissor style bridge system. Like the M-48/60

I could make those heavy chain rigs hanging all over the underhive for no apparent reason, other than it looks industrial and cool!

Oh I scored a huge amount of wire cabeling around christmas and knowing that I would soon be (hopefully) starting up 40k grabbed it when I could....
Its perfect stuff for pull cables and such..
And when I unwound some I realised that it makes perfect razor wire for basing and terrain...

oh by the way... try making thick twisted cables out of three or four length of wire ...put them in a vice and a drill and just pull the trigger...easy made twisted cables...!!! done that quite often now and it always looks cool! looks even like artificial sinews...
A Gothic Suspension Bridge using that twisted cable method??
