I'm sure someone out there will buy that tank. Good luck.

Thanks Doc, I'm hoping it's got the right amount of realism mixed with crazy ass fantasy to make a quick sale !

Thanks Dark Apostle , we have a box of stuff like this, stinking up the house !

Thanks Nerdy ! I had to really concentrate on the lens to get my eyes to focus, I really should wear the expensive glasses I bought !
The blue was a bit problematic, I was incredibly hung over and it was going all over the place so, ultimately I'm just glad I didn't end up with an ultra marines Pred !

Today was a beautiful day and I fully intended to tidy the garden and plant some potatoes.
Instead I mostly made some nurgle chaos warrior.
Base models are Avatars of war with GW and Scibor parts thrown in.

Perhaps, but it really works well with the yellow/brown/orange of the rest of the tank.

It does go quite well, even if it's over the top, but anyway, we'll see as its now up for sale at the FLGS !

Not been very busy hobby wise lately, but had a casual few hours tinkering and greenstuffing these bad boys.

Typical crappy bank holiday weather so nothing muck to do but play with plastic. Got some way towards a counts as Basilisk for the nurgle zombie guard.
Comments and criticisms welcome !

Excellent work on the gun carriage and walls.

Dude the interior detailing looks great! you can sure make things look as if they were made for the army.

Dudes look nice and characterful. Tank is looking excellent.

Thanks Gits ! I am trying hard to improve my plasticard skills !

Thanks Nerdy ! I did a few googles searches to come up with the general idea, tho it's much simplified to an actual vehicle !

Thanks Doc ! It's a tricky build of several parts but it seems to be going quite well !

And so , I had a spare hour or two today and did some tinkering , mending stuff and priming stuff up.
Also got a bit of plasticard work done for the counts as Basilisk . Ladies and gentlemen , I give you : a shell rack.
I'm excited.

And with "shells"
And for the health and safety conscious amongst you, the bullets are from an antique dealers and they are completely inert !

Great idea & glad you kept safety in mind.

And with a little bit more to the Basilisk before bed.
I think it basically done save for a few details and maybe some light "nurgling" ie sand and dremel !
So , your thoughts people, leave as is or apply the sand and dremel technique I've used on some vehicles ?

.

Looks great. Nice idea with the shells and nice rack.

So long as it matches the tank it's going on you can sand and dremel as much as you want.

Oh , a rack compliment !

Well , I went ahead and nurgled the basilisk a bit, hopefully get some paint on it tonight.

As if there wasn't enough stuff on the hobby table, my boy comes home from the FLGS with a second hand PINK stormtalon, it was a bit of a dog, visible joints, mold lines and sprue tags all over it. He wanted it for his game today so last night was a speed paint night.
Stealth grey is the new camouflage !
