Wow.

Dem rivets doe.

Yep, League requirement! Must haz rivets!

speaking of Rivets, Monkeytroll directed me to this beauty, and at 25USD or leass, per model, a bargain!


comes with rivets already!

Can the turret piece be placed on the left side too?

Looking at the other pics of it at their website, the turret is set to the left of the vehicle, but shows it is not able to be offset to the right side. The way they shaped the turret collar which uses the driver's cockpit to help anchor it to the vehicle.

Thanks, had to take advantage of that burst of creative energy, some days I am not feeling it. Of course as you can see those bursts produce a nice load of results! I also metal painted the treads of the light tank and the heavy transports and pics will follow once I snap them.

ROBITS! Nice. Continue painting those so I can live vicariously through you and won't have to order my own

Nice to see the robots coming out in force too.


The turret ring can only fit the left side of the vehicle, but it can be left off entirely - it fits over an already detailed area if you use it.

Lol! Glad o many are liking how Mr. Scratchers is coming out, sand flock of course,


Robots demanded their rights, they have a very charismatic, yet hard to find spokes-bot named B. B. Rodriguez.



Well, I do like my APCs to have all options, turretless ones would be Arbites Pat-wagons, But I will likely use the weapons for the turrets, and make one fit the bow.

Pulling things off Heliodore's blog/old WDs?

Haha, just kidding. Those will be great with some paint and more rivets. They give a wonderful mobile fort feel, and the little tank amazes as ever.

I saw his battle tanks he made of the MK-IV he had. I got a good deal on the Mk-IV so got 2 of them, different armed turrets for platoon transports

All of them have their 'rivets" just need paint, decals, and weathering now!,

Are you sure?

Anyways, since I may have some weathering coming up I can't wait to see what you do for your tanks. It will probably save me some trouble.

Oh the BRDM will have little mud but dusty looking tires, seems they tend to wash the mud off themselves with river crossings.

The light and Heavy Carriers though,,,,crawling through the muddy fields of "No Man's" Land.

No plans for a diorama per se,,,,just the mud clinging to the beasts!

Those tanks are looking excellent

Tanks galore! How many do you have now?

Awesome, your MkIV really is armed to the teeth! Great super-thread of tanks, so much wonderful hard work! Kudos!

It has just popped into my head where I thought I had seen that type of tank before.... it looks like a more beefed up version of the tank from "Indiana Jones and The Last crusade!" ... which is no bad thing as it is one of the first really cool tanks I remember seeing as a kid!

Thank you!

Hmmm, conversions/scratch/as is models I have lost count!

Thankis you! I have seen how much you have worked to bring many of the art work vehicles from past 40k books to life, and they are also awesome!

Actually, while they look similar, the "Last Crusade" tank was modeled off the Mk VIII which was a joint US/British heavy tank, with a more "modern" turret replacing the gun box (Think like a Malcador defender up top). I can however see that kind of vibe as one of my superheavy scratch builds also looked like that movie tank.

Well, have to break the silence with this new tidbit for you all to ponder

I got inspired to a 40k version of this

A broken link? Lol. Looks like the start of an APC to me.

Edit- ah, pic is working now. I look forward to seeing how this will turn out.

Disappointed - I was hoping it was the start of some roller skates for the big mechs

Well, I do need to order more weapons if I make more tanks,,,,Hmmm, Old Crow Missile pods and cannons still, plus some GW weapons laying about.

Anyway, the BRDM-2 inspired car and the BTR-60 inspired 8 wheeler are IPS plastic sheets, Galeforce9tubes and beams, Zinge for the tires and other accessories, GW weapons, and the exhausts of the BRDM-2 were Mk-IV exhausts.

But here is the lower front plate of the BTR-60 like APC
