I did last night. No reply yet, may still be too early. Website warns he overloaded and dispatch times are lagging, so Im not too worried.
EDIT/UPDATE: Got a reply, shipping early next week, should have it by the weekend.

Quite likely with it being just a two man operation. That makes me wonder more about the crew they have at FW and why they at least don't clean the parts up, especially at the prices they charge!

At times FWs quality is almost inexcusable. For the price they charge the items should be perfect. GW/ FW has pretty much lost my interest for the time being. It may take a longer wait, but Im really liking what Im finding with smaller places like Old Crow.

Indeed! I mean the FW stuff is supposed to be their "official" Apoc makers and odd stuff, but if you can play with folks who aren't anal-retentive about the models you use, and likely not going to a GT, then why not make your stuff from other sources.
The mail missed me today, the last item I ordered arrived before anything I ordered before it, Tuesday, I shall have the MBT-90D "Mazurka" kit for me to start modifying!

shasolenzabi wrote:So, I seemed to have used a search engine in my pursuit of the oddball tanks out there to build for my collection for either 40k or just because I am a tread head. I am starting this thread to discuss these wild designs, or really cool tanks that are out there, and the search engine helped me accidentally raise a dead thread, and that is why the fresh discussion here. The thread I found regarded the discussion about the similarity between the Bauhaus Grizzly from the old Target Games Warzone game, and the Miyazaki art work turned model tank the Akuyaku 1Go with the pigs for crew. I did recently get and am building the MS-Igloo 2 Gravity Front E.F.G.F. M61A5 kit and that was sweet building! Working on painting it in my armies' livery, a real monster in size, it was only useable in games of Apocalypse scale battles. Also, so cool looking a tank that I just had to collect it!
The same goes for the Akuyaku, it is a huge kit for 1:72 scale, at 23.5cm according to Hobby Links Japan. http://www.hlj.com/product/TACTG-2 And will be a sweet deal with a few metal parts(Screws and a spring). The M61A5 had photo-etched parts and cost me about the same as a Forgeworld made kit! The price of the Akuyaku is cheaper by far, and looks to be a great kit to work with according to pics of the parts I have seen.

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10049975n3/40/3
The treads look like they attach the big blades onto the flex-track and at the twice the size of the a Leman Russ tank is a big monster at 1:72 scale and would be huge at 1:48 scale. I have seen how huge the Grizzly from Warzone was, and well, if there were any, likely today would be more expensive. The details on the kits look awesome, and the pigs alone are are well worth it for the fun factor! I would like to get more input from others as to the kit and how others see it as a collectible item for their tank collections!

Yeah, true. I have no likely use for the T-64 other than I liked the upgraded Ukrainean machine, The Mazurka will be a definite 40k machine, especially after I re-design it to my taste!

Oh yeah, that tank is going under my knives! you have seen what I can do with the tanks there, The T-290 and T-350 a few pages back were my earlier "surgeries"
For the "Mazurka" it will just be a little simple "re-arranging" of the guns.

It is in the one scale closer to WH40k, 1/48th, although Catachans have 1/35 scale hands! (Yes i did check it last night comparing hands from T-61A5 crew, same sized hands, yet the 7.62mm MG looked like a toy compared to las rifle!

thats why scratchbuiling something for 40k seems so right...i will probably do some gatling guns out of quetips (earsticks) and they are just the right barrel for shotguns too...so lots of oportunities for something selfmade as the scale allows that quite good with household items...
speaking of household...washingmachine i am afraid has rung again...*waves*

will you use the main gun at all? i would suggest replacing it with a more 40k version of a barrel...this one here is a bit coneshaped, isn´t it? looks maybe tech but for me lacks the spirit of 40k...

I have no other barrels at he moment, and I do like using such weapon as you saw in the T-61A5 super-heavy tank slayer
If it needs anything else, I can sculpt it a gas retriever mid barrel, and even a muzzle break, I have to see just how big everything is first to assess what this thing can do.,
