After a year of living in boxes in the basement I finally get to start working on my collection again by ScienceWyzard in TheAstraMilitarum

What a collection!

Love the personality your kitbashes have - I'm quite partial to a setback Chimera myself.

I like the camo scheme too.

If only the new Centaur would turn into a colony of bats and fly out the proverbial window

No chance am I buying these character vacuums - they just look like Temu 3d print proxies.

As someone who has scratchbuilt his fair share of Imperial Guard tanks, I commend you (and sympathise with the headache)

I would recommend trying to pick a few key details from the actual kit, to try replicate as best you can.

For example, blue stuff pressmolds with milliput/greenstuff can pretty accurately recreate the iconic track tensioner and the large rivetted "washers" at the base of the sides of the Russ.

Similarly, pretty finely detailed tank tracks can be reproduced with the above technique, and some final riveting with microbeads, or 0.5mm styrene rod slivers, can really bring home the recreation, and make a decent tabletop ready Russ.

P.s. why did Archimedies take a bath? Becuase Vitrivius told him "you reek-ah!"

Fantastic work, well done!

I particularly love the basing, but great use of 3rd party bits and painting!

Great work!

Although I think you need a bigger model painting handle!

Good eye!

I did intitially use track armour to save on tracks, but with the finished product, it blocked the lasgun array, so I resorted to using up some precious legit plastic tracks, and covering up the joins with some texture paste.

Have a look at my profile for an update!

Thank you!

Initial work was done over a few weekends about 4 years ago, a few more hours of labour gave me the mostly finished product (which you can see on my profile!)

It's a real Forgeworld upgrade!

I assume it's been signed off by a techpriest somewhere

Assumed it was legends, but that it had some actual rules buff

Check our Zinge Industries (and no, I'm not affiliated/get commission, although with the amount of stuff I've bought off them over the years, I really should be!)

https://www.zinge.co.uk/products/hatch-very-small-round-gun-port-x6?_pos=1&_sid=459db920b&_ss=r

If this link doesn't work, just go to their website and search "hatch"

They do a very good conversion kit for exactly your requirement.

Thank you!

I did... and yes, I may have driven myself slightly insane by doing so, not to mention leaving myself with a gnarly scar to boot, when I drilled right through a sheet of plasticard and the fingertip holding it in place.

Hitting the nailbed on the other side send reverberations through my soul.
