She started as a Reaper Russian Sniper, I did a head swap and put a tanker helmet on her I hollowed out with a hobby knife, added hair, put the tanker shoulder pads on her, gave her a laspistol and thickened up her arms a bit.

The tank is magnetized to be a Vanquisher (shown), Punisher, or Exterminator. The hull and sponson weapons are also swap-able. The skulls are those of crew members who have died fighting in the ancient tank, yet still serve.

Good conversion. Its a pity GW guns look so odd on most other figs. Some third party outfit should start making "Lazer Guns" for non heroic scale miniatures. I highly approve of the magnetism, skulls, and stowage.

Thanks,

Before I thickened her arms and tweaked a few things the laspistol looked ridiculously huge. And even now the 'Russ's hatch looks downright roomy with her sticking out of it. I guess that Alexandera is a petite woman. (Which would actually be a bonus in a tank.)

I really like the tank commander, I'm not sure what I would have done instead of the pistol (pointing maybe? but that doesn't make much sense - the crew wouldn't be able to see the gesture).

I like the track guards, but I think the spare tracks and the lasguns on the left side need some method securing them (straps or something) - I realize it's a WiP.

There are also a few sprue-clip-marks (e.g. on the back of the turret), and some moldlines that would drive me crazy.

Overall though, excellent stuff!

Some straps and tie downs? Good idea, I'll also double check the flash and moldlines.

I have added straps and worked on the flash and mold lines. I did not catch all the mold lines, but I'll hide what I missed with rust and mud. Here she is with some paint on her. There is a lot of painting still to go, also I have to do battle damage and mud.

Well, I think I have her done, any suggestions or should I clear coat her and call her finished?

Pictures with my Iphone and outside in the sunlight. Sorry so many.

Love the character put into it.

You say that I am crazy. I say that you are right!
