Turret looks cool, I think the actual may be the original Russ turret? but the barrels I have no idea.

What you guys think?

Those almost look like a bodge job using tubes of some sort and old flamer tips. Otherwise, no clue.

I don't know about "bodge job" (not sure what that means!) but those do look like plastic tubes with an old (metal?) heavy flamer tip attached to the ends...

Turret is the old Phaeton pattern Russ (2nd-5th) it looks like.

My group uses Bodge Job to mean any type of conversion. AS in "we bodged it up". No clue where or why.

Leman Russ 'Zippo'

Myatezhnik Leman Russ "Zippo" Flame Tank

"Instead of destroying outright damaged Imperial vehicles, the Myatezhnik rebels will often find a way to utilise these fallen beast to their advantage."

This is my "Count as" Hellhound unit. It was inspired by the M4 Sherman "Zippo" tank (which is often confused with the Sherman Crocodile, of which only 4 were ever made).

It was made with a basic Leman Russ kit, SM Rhino Side Doors, 2x Sentinel engines, plasticard, cotton buds (swab for the Yanks), various parts from a Panzer IV kit and the front bolter has been replaced with one from an Imperial Guard Heavy Support team

Google is my friend....

'Bodge job' is a fairly common British phrase; mostly used to describe an improvised fix or build of something using incorrect parts, that while it often works, is somewhat inelegant.
Similar to the US term 'Macguyver'd it'.

Yeah, definitely a conversion. I recognize the top "lid" thing as being from a Rhino kit (the "lid" thing that you mount a storm bolter on).
