Hello everyone,

I have gained one of these kits by impulse, (maybe I should have gone in with an idea rather than doing it this way around) and have been looking around in all the usual places I would look for '3rd party bits' for my vehicles (usually for chimera, Taurox chasis things etc) but whilst I can find lots and lots of interesting bits for all kinds of vehicles there does not seem to be any I could find in the selection of third party sellers, 3D printers etc, catering to the super-heavy tanks.

Perhaps I am just missing something, and I've overlooked something, but I was hoping you could help steer me in the right direction.

I recommend taking a look at Blood and skulls:

As well as Mortian:

Thank you Pyroalchi I'll check these out

Just for size reference here is a Baneblade with Blood and Skulls turrets, sponsons and engine parts in the back. (Pic is from Google search function)

Thanks! that helps put it all in perspective.

I did not quite realise that the ...'little turrets' on the sides and whatnot of the Baneblade were about the size of a standard Russ turret - but, going on the Blood and Skull shop you linked to; it looks those turrets here are replaced with their ', medium' (Russ equivalent) turrets.

The sponsons turrets (from GW) are significantly smaller than Russ turrets. If you are interested in Blood and Skulls I recommend googling a bit. Lots of people tried them (also sone on dakka, Oldmate for example), so there are pics for a lot of their products.

Just for reference another pic (first left, than right):

This is a great help. I think I was misinterpreting the Blood and Skulls turrets on the previous image.

If you want stowage and stuff as well, I recommend 1/35 scale.
