That tank is Chunky!  :D
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Thanks guys, glad you liked it. The tank is mainly a spray with a Tamiya rattle can and a lot of pigments + some black for the tracks.
Just ordered an Ontos and some more NVA...

Recognising all that stowage...must have used a bit on my Drogan!

Interesting looking vehicle.....funny to think they would design it like that.  Looking forward to your take on it.

The good old Tamiya 1/48 jerry can set, where would 40K stowage have been without it..!

M50 Ontos, funny looking thing; essentially a little armoured bull dozer with a shed load of 106mm tubes instead of a blade.

Primed and basecoated...

That is "armoured" for a given value  of armoured.

Seeing it "in the resin", reminds me of the Wiesel weapon carrier (the Americans also designed a stretched hull APC version).

I have just glued the track units on mine.

I look forward to seeing how yours goes together.

With lots of brass rod pins, a liberal marinade in super glue and bit of filler. NB no blood was spilt in the construction...

A hint of factory fresh, awaiting dirt and accumulated crud...

Nearly done with the 'Thing', needs some matt varnish as shiney bits are showing, so will let that dry and take other pictures.

In the mean time here are some others:
