http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net I call this tank the RAT,Recon Armoured Transport.I got these little tanks at a local chain store for $3.00 a piece. They will fill in for a Sentinel nicely. I took the models apart and removed all the little pieces. I then cut down the cockpit or the Bucket where the gunner will stand by 1/8 of an inch. I like to see the gunners head sticking out. I have enough of these tanks to make a full company of ten. the three that I have started so far , have this 1/8 of an inch cut off the bucket. Does anyone think it should be left the way it is or cut deeper? I still have 7 more to go. I'll try to post the next steps soon. Thanks everyone. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1913693.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1913693.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1914921.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1914921.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1934889.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1934889.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1934901.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1934901.page GMT I use alot of paint from the local chain store for my base colors,tho I have learned that some colors I can only get from GW. I'll keep adding gray washes until I get the color I like. I dont even try to match the gray from tank to tank, When Im happy with the color I just start with the next color wash. In these four pictures you can see from Primed to the second gray wash. I'll keep adding gray washes and keep count and see just how many washes it takes.You can also see that I dont try to be neat with the tank brush either,it help give each tank its own personality. Thanks again

Just wondering though, did you throw out the original guns? Seems like a waste if you did]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1942589.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1942589.page GMT GW tracks, and I'll give it a try. What I was trying to do was make, make shift armor. My uncle was in WW2 and was the driver of a M15A1 AA half track. He told me how they would hang used tracks on the bucket for more armor protection. They really liked the "kettentrad" tracks,when they couldnt get tracks they would use damaged jerry cans full of sand. His Halftrack was named Abner. I cant wait to see what you do with the "Priest" it sounds super!

@Lawkeeper Thanks! What scale is the Tamiya kit by the way?

@kenshin620 thanks! No I didn't throw them out, everything goes into the bitz box. Matter of fact you can see in the picture of stuff I was Priming, some half tracks."Those are going to be for my Orks of the Red Shirt Clan" Those came out of my Bitz box and I got those when I was 18. That was over 30 years ago..when it comes to gaming nothing gets thrown out. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1946878.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/316096/1946878.page GMT
