Hey all,
I noticed that someone else has started a thread about a plastic vanquisher, and this got me thinking that I should show my version that I made a while ago for anyone who is interested.

I made this when I first got a mitre box, to see how the barrels would come out.

Now, It's completely scratchbuilt apart from the crate which is taken from the rear of a stock Leman Russ turret and some of the details.

The turret taking shape...



The detailed turret.


I added a rolled tarpaulin to the front for something a bit different, but absolutely hated it...


I gave this to my mate I think. Was fun to make...

Steve.

That looks really great and accurate.

I still can't believe I forgot about the co-axial stormbolter on mine.

Stevie boy that is pretty bloody impresive

And of course now we need:

the recipe
templates or at least dimensions


Hmmm just had a thought which i need to run by you mod type people with relation to this kind of thing. more on that later.

Very cool. I have a plastic baneblade cannon which i plan to use in a simliar conversion!

You found your mojo again steve?

Sadly he hasn't yet, this is a pretty old one...now in my possession! Give him time! Heh.

Dude that's heaps cool

Thanks Tony, Chris, Craig and...Nargred? That Irish? :) lol

Old Guard - Thanks mate, afraid I can't help you with templates, although; Because the crate thing on the back of the turret fits onto a normal Russ turret, you can tell that its got the same angles, all I did was extend how far the sides would go so it is bigger.
All I did was add some armour plates and rivets, added a collar around the mantle, and just added little bits here and there until I was happy. Or at least, non-suicidal at. lol. Although talking with someone far more adept at these things than me, and I agree with him/it the barrel is very plain.
Would like to make some more of these different things.

To be honest, my favourite thing about the model is the scratch built storm bolter.

Always the little things that please you SC.....

Your wit for example?

SC

I stood back expecting an onslaught, so disapointed ;)

What colours are you going to be painting this steve?

Its mine now! Jeez Jase! Haha...

It'll be part of an urban regiment, not sure yet :)

Ooompa-Loompas?

though I do have to admit the Stormbolter is a nice touch.

Maybe the tarp should have been a camo net ready to be unfurled

Sorry, answered that at uni, so didn't read back.

Get it painted then!

Thats one sweet tank SC ,shame you gave it away it would fit well with your DK :)

Like Sal, every time you finish your sweaty ginger advances and say "That was good, next time we'll let the dog out first though".

Hedley - I might be making some more, but to be honest I did make my own Russ style for my DK remember =)
