is that a new tower dave?

not really...

i was unsure monkey^^

and i like that dawg joke... lol

And actually, those extra tracks were the result of Dave's supply drop, sheets of plastic as thick as a GW tank kits'!

Still waiting on glue to make progress on the transport

That sucks Shas. I could've sent you some glue too!

i was wondering where you have been???

Playing a browser game from a German company, Good game empire
And doing some work on the Manticore, trying out the colors Dave sent, and yeah, I should have checked the glue supplies I have I thought I had plenty, but the treads sections for the new beast gobbled it all up! Plans are set to get me 2 tubes of Testors this week

i see hobby rota due to lack of glue

Not completely Vik

Yup, must have those lovley bumps

aye^^

You can see how this is an early project, much less refined than others I have made, but I did make use of some FT-17 Renault tank parts for the track system. the hull was all scratch from inside my head, and wound up looking like a Bren and a German tank had spawned a child. This is supposed to be a Centaur stand in vehicle.

Ah good show. I was just about to ask for a closer look at that

Like the use of the Renault track system.

What is it, a tiny bit shorter than a chimmy?

good looking added rivets... what will you do to the inside? add a bit of texture like a treadplate?

Wait till you see the results of the two Renault hulls the kit had in it.

Maybe 2mm shorter?

I will have to scrape away paint once I have glue to add that tread/grip plate.

waiting °-°

Is that blue highlight one of the colors I sent you? That's a perfect highlight! The green highlight is good too, but the blue is perfect!

er.... unless the imperium recycles like hell the trusters on those rockets wont be sooty
otherwise the manticore looks very cool...and even adjustable...

My idea is that each engine gets a test fire to ensure that works.

Dave, yes, that is the grey blue you sent me, it works like a charm.

nice excuse !

Amazing how many rabbits I have in my hat!

Excellent tanks.
As always


How big is a FT-7 Renaught? I once saw one at 1/35th scale with a paint of large smoke canisters on is sides. I considered rigging such a vehicale to be a Banewolf.
If they are smaller i could modifiy one to be a salamander like yours. OR....
i could rig one with a small box-like hull (METAL BAWKES) and wheels if needed to make a "Rhino" for my experimental Exo Suit units (aka Space Marine allies)

Thanks! I will do a shot of one next to a chimera, the FT-17 is not that big as it was a 2 man tank at best. I figured as a centaur stand in it works, better.

I really like your work w/ the plasticard, and the style of tanks you are creating really sell the 'old school' IG feeling w/ a modern twist. Well done.
