Nice stuff as always.

Would you ever considering a similar ball and socket weapon mount as a side sponson?

Already have it designed in my head. Just need the time to put it on the computer

And ordered.

So I was originally going to build a pushed back turret using a standard chimera top and cutting it up but my brand new kits top was all scarred up from some mold pulling incident I assume. It was damaged at the front so I opted to go with a different 3rd party top. Liking the results.

Right now it's just press fitted. Didn't notice it was loosing a wheel when I took the pictures

looks good there

Nice vehicle turret Insurgency, was thinking that turret was too T34 for my liking but the profile is looking good.

Top of the line in combat 3x2 drive systems .

Could get a twin auto cannon, cut off the muzzle breaks and mount them flat for a taurox, if you wanted to make it exchangeable

My friend created this unique vehicle using my Aquarius 6x6 Wheeled Kit along with the track unit from my Buffalo Kit. Now I have a new half-track project....

Sweet! The 6 wheel kit is a good starting point for building.

My 2nd hand baneblade WIP, the gun's about 16cm long too!

Spoiler:

as you can guess, turret will be enlarged

Nice! She's going to look good painted up. What colors are you doing her in?

Thought I'd show you guys some pics of a recent prize I donated to the Mid MO Maelstrom event (https://www.midmomaelstrom.com/). The only plastic pieces on this model are the hull and track plates, the rest is all resiny goodness

Probably something similar to this


Humbrol matt grey blue (87) with Tamiya light blue chipping
Humbrol Kharki Green(259) I'll have to mix a chipping colour up
Humbrol dark bronze green (75) with slate green chippping (31)
Humbrol desert yellow (93) mixed with a little pale stone(121) for chipping
some gunmetal for additional deep chipping and some dust/rust over the top using citadel paints

That's a pretty nifty looking russ Machinator!

Thanks to the pics here, been looking for some wheeled conversions. Just ordered the Pisces and Barmkin conversion kits. Going to combine them with the metal griffon parts I have and have them be counts-as wyvren/griffons.

I keep checking the store to see if the half track has made an appearance.
Think you'll get it out before Christmas?

For sure it will. But I'm hoping to bundle its release with something else now at the printers, something that's momentous for us...

Thanks for the info, looking forward to your new release.

Any chance to get this Main Weapon as Sponson Weapons for your sponson kits ? I need to equip my Fellblade with Laser Destroyer Sponsons and quad lascannon sponson is already an option you could provide us with ;-)

I can certainly look into it. You're not the first person to request that option

Baneblade sized mudguards/track guards would be awesome, I've seen some made out of the original plastic leman russ ram, and they look great, unfortunately I have not found any old leman russ rams for sale :(

New Extra Front Armor is up! The perfect Panzer-izing item for your Russ

I got 2 sets of these recently along with 3 sets of rear exhausts and fuel tanks. Absolutely top notch. Need to get another 2 sets after Xmas.

Just in time for Christmas! The Aquarius Half-track kit

Looks great!

So on New Years Day we had a big release at Blood & Skulls Industry. We now have our very own chassis to go with our Aquarius and Pisces Conversion Kits!

The Bullfrog Chassis comes with numerous weapon options along with a detailed interior. The top and the seats are also removable allowing a variety of customizations as new parts are released.

Now available!

Bullfrog Chassis & Wheeled Kits

Is there any chance that just the front hull will be available separately? I already have Pisces 8X8 and Bramkin open top conversion kits, but I need Front hulls to build them. I'm making Griffon Heavy Mortars so I don't have need for the turrets/seats from the back section in this kit.

Unfortunately the Bullfrog chassis is narrower than the Chimera by about 1/2 an inch so it won't work with the Barmkin Kit. I did that to give the Bullfrog a more proportioned looked with the wheeled sides. :(

It took me a moment to realise the 3rd gun represented the pintle mounted weapons. I was confused why a chimera equivalent needed three gun mounts. Very cool!

Is their any weapons in the back catalogue that works of the main turret that could be used to represent twin heavy bolter?

Ah, this must have been the second project you mentioned! I haven't even had a chance to build the half track.

Sweet Griffon!

That's some beautiful work there!

I have plans for mortar versions of my Bullfrog and Barmkin kits after the hard top version is done. Your conversion is a good indication of how awesome it's going to be
