ouch.... now that is hefty...

and i´ve overread your vendor post...LOL...

Ah, the problem with resin vs plastics....price

aye...

The Basilisk always bothered me with it's lack of munitions wagon and crane..what do they do, climb the little ladder with an Earthshaker shell over their shoulder?

Forgeworld at least made the "Trojan" munitions carriers for folks who want a support for arty vehicle, it has the crane to move shells, and a large top hatch for pulling said shells out for loading.But yeah, Basilisk ought to at least have had a ammo rack set up on one of the sides of the cabin.

Details

@DiDDe: Forgeworld has them in their Imperial Guard vehicles section.

Now, I got the FW Thudd Guns, but did not get the Centaurs, so as centaur stand ins, I made my own gun towing traktors, so the 1st one is done and muddied

still some ways to go on that little guy but as with these traktors, they are ready for the job!

seeing these models shaso... don´t get it the wrong way... but your painting has gone some length ... boy... these are indeed in need of some touch ups... if not a serious repaint!... but the models as such are always a killer

Well, I will be retouching the two newer ones, had a hard time trying not to pain the eyes closed on the soldiers hitching a ride.

I also have what I need to paint worn paint as well as finish the spots I noted in the pics. before I dirty the other 2 down

sounds like a sound plan

The thud gun and carrier look grand. I also like the idea of a dozer blade on the front of the tank. To me all support tanks should have dozer blades to help with trenching while the big dogs go an fight.

Did you scratch the sides? Nice rivet detail!

@Vik; I always have plans!

@Theophony; Dozer blades were always a must have for terrain heavy tables!

@Dave; Had to to add the winged skulls and the purity seal on traktor 3, I am debating how to number it at the moment.

if we don´t make plans anymore...this means we don´t dream anymore... and if we don´t dream anymore...burry us!

Hence all the plans within plans Vik!, now, I am expecting ashipment of sharks with friggin' lasers on their heads at my secret island volcano base this week, Muwahahahaha!

aha... well you are quite resourcefull then^^ i better keep an eye out for you^^

Still adding plates and details to the shredder tank.

I did buy a 1/35 scale kit for Renaults the Germans used as utility pullers for trailers of goods, but the kit had a spare Renault hull, so I had 2 of them, made IG stle tracks and the FT treads were put on my odd Bren/Panzer hull of the 3rd tractor. I use them all as stand ins for Centaurs. Thank, you and good eye!

Fatastic as always Shas! Any any to see the first tractor next to a Chimera for size comparison?

cool... so much mud.... you need to wipe off your feet even from looking at these!..

I could almost use the one as a salamander if I mounted the right weapons.

The other tractor is more Centaur sized I feel
[/img]

Wow, h size comparison just shocked me. The tanks that I thought were the largest turned out o be smallest . Objects on web may be nearer than you think.

Great work n the mud. Now you just need. Tank commander pointing with a cation saying "mud puddle to the left, lets hit it!"

Must have been the treads I made for the Renault based tractors made them look beefy

My roommate was afraid to touch them they were so effectively grimy!

LOL

Cool! That one seems like a great base for a Salamander too!
