seeing the crew in the hannomag... the IoM really hates his soldiers......i can´t imagine how it must be to get out of the compartment and be fighting ready... i guess you have to study a whole choreography for this ...

Well, the 1/35 scale soldiers are even bigger, so imagine the 2 man crew, and 10 German Soldiers crammed into the things!

Anyway, here are updates, hand grabs

Nice smoothed down turret there...if I was you, I'd have switched the handles of the sides with the ones you did on the big hatch...

Truth is, I ran out of the handles, other wise I would have used more, I may remove them if I find I can replace them with other Zinge handles, similarly tall handles I may add.

i thought so...my point i was trying to make was keeping one kind of detail in a theme...maybe you could thicken the upper ones with greystuff?

I did better! I found my very last Zinge Handles, I may have to place a new order with them for bits and bobs for vehicles and tank making! I also have an order to pay for for OMN's stuff.

Anyway, here it is with the Zinge handles I had left so the theme stays as solid

that looks million times better!

the rear view pic shows that quite good... now it is all in one theme and the symmetry makes it all pleasant looking .

but there seems to be a big gap in the rear too...?...

That's looking great, It's amazing the difference a little bit of plastic card can make .

Oh, you mean the doors that seem to love opening all on their own? Hard to fix, but they do need some interior painting, and that may stiffen up the action just enough to stop that loosey-goosey action they have now.

Yes, so old antique style kits can take on a more modernized role!

ah...i see... well...i never lost faith^^

I would also like to do this work on the Hanomag B version and D version.

The "B"



The "D" and the maker has the French light tank turret on his

Now here took some sun and time, primer, and no, I did not forget the rivets, I went with the German style of weld style turret.

Back culprit is the big arms and shoulder of the guy at the end of the bench, seems the door can't close completely due to that, I may have to figure a pin system or such to get a full close of the door.

Great job on the mog, looking brilliant mate. You have made the additions seemless to the original

already primed...that build was fast paced!!!

Thanks guys! Local store has the cheap, so there may be some more low cost, easily upgrade-able APCs for me in the future, and I still have several Secret Weapon metal weapon bits left.

I have painted the main blue-gray color on the Hanny

Loving that vehicle! Really awesome additions and indeed they look original!

the front view with the angle of the turret matching that of the main hull is a great detail! Really ties it all together!

Baby blue hanomag for the win. Excellent details you added Shaso and it all comes together really well with the solid base coat.

we have to pay respect... such an even looking coat of blue grey over a back primer...that´s nothing to sneeze at for sure!

looks already as if it is just a straight from the box kit!

Thanks guys! the blue-gray coat was place it on, let it dry, do it again so it is a triple base coat over the black which fought hard to pop through!

Well, it was working to make it fit, as another pointed out, I got the sides of the turret shaved down so it would fit the hull better, It still has some signs of hand made work on it.

Hi all, I was dealing with the heat, and also purging myself for a colonoscopy, so work on minis was nigh impossible, I am working on completing some thing for a pic update though.

make sure the pic update is of miniatures and not your colon. We like you, just not THAT much.

"Yes, this checks out." - Your typical Guard player

The fact that the Leman Russ' BC is too big is also shown as it not only can eat a 125mm gun from a 1/35 scale Russian tank,,,,they originally listed it as a 120mm gun itself.

How would the scale of the Forgeworld battlecannon be compared to the GW one, would it be more like true 120mm?

The Hanomag looks awesome btw. Very nice job!

No worries Theo, just minis

Not sure FW and GW are basically the same corporation, so likely also over sized.

Thank you!





Now, I did promise minis progress done. I managed to work on the 26 Panzer-Jaegers

Here is the 6 person fire team

good to see you recovered after that rather personal invasion...wouldn´t want to trade place in this for you...

the panzerjaeger look promising...very good! that scheme really grows ever so closer to me^^

and the helmets remind me to play a game of FO^^ nice conversions there!

Those Dust troopers look super slick with those heads! REALLY REALLY nice... and an aesthetic I really enjoy!

I am actually waiting on 1 mini from Brother Vinni..... cant wait to receive him... and glad you confirmed their casts are good!

Good work, Shas.

and the heads work well.

Yeah the worst was the preparation for having that procedure. I will spare the messy details.

Yes, the hard shell armor of the Eisenkern/Kruegerian armor makes for that pattern very nicely.

LOL! Brother Vinni casts have that effect.

I was going for beefing up the B.o.S. guys I have already from Vinni and calling this bigger, bulkier suit to use as the newer T-60 that opens like a vehicle and such for FO-4

Oh the Vinni stuff is definitely high calibre sculpt-casts!

Dr H wrote:Good work, Shas.

Thank you doc, and now if you like those, I have some other works to share.

FO-4 has some interesting new additions for Powered armor, so here, jet packs, and heavy weapons I decided to give these Enclave troopers the Hellfire style helmets, probably the ugliest helmet in the Enclave arsenal..

I sculpted gray stuff on the bare arms of the commando powered armor I got, and please excuse my poor sculpt skills, I will have to now shave the rough spots down before applying primer and paint to them, but they have scavenging gear and the more traditional FO-2 "Ant-Head" helmets.
