All I can say about painting is that VMC tastes much better than VMA... especially black...

Funny you should ask. I make them. The top was an early personal hobby project that turned into a proof-of-concept for the later kit, pictured below.

Nice bit of self promotion there...

They look nice, certainly look like they have a better parts fit and no warping verses Forge World.

not to mention the parts coverage means that with some skilled use of plasticard, could see a complete tank built without any use of gee dubya's parts........

Since you questioned her...weight class. Its not quite as lengthy as a plastic, I wanted a more Forge world style.

Not the best tank here by a long way but I'm pretty happy with it. This is my first tank attempt since getting back into painting. It's my old 2nd edition whirlwind stripped, restored a little, and turned into a razorback for my kill team. Should have taken a "before" shot but didn't think to. You'll have to believe me when I say it's a big improvement.



Also, loving some of the scratch builds in this thread.
