Another New Mr. Burning W.I.P Multi Genre Steam Tank UPDATE 24/05/2010

[Mr. Burning]

When a resin mini is possessed by dark forces there are only a few options.

My resin FW Valkyrie has mocked me for too long and has now been broken down for scrap. Taking its Troop compartment as a base it will now find life as a heavy steam tank/tank/Leman Russ Counts ass. The wings and engines will be used to create a flyer of some description.

Leman Russ tank tracks
Some balsa wood and some resin armour plates to be added.


Turret ring made by laminating plasti-card with components from a KV2 tank kit (which will be providing the turret).

[Mr. Burning]

Updated:

Adding armour plates and what nots.


Starting to work on the turret and have added greenstuff rivets.


Now nicknamed 'Ducky'.

[Christian]

That is a beast! Can't wait to see this one finished :O

[rob_alderman]

Oooooh!

I look forward to seeing this. 

[Amalric]

Great looking tank so far.

Using a KV2 turret is brilliant. It never occured to me to use one of those, but it is sooo perfet for your project.

I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks
Tom

[Mr. Burning]

A quick update, not much to show.

Just the turret with a rather forlorn looking Pen barrel gun.

Need to glue this in place and a few more bits and pieces, like turret hatches and extra brass!



Still figuring out the rear of the model. There is going to be a boiler somewhere. The same pen will be suppling the chimneys as well.

[rob_alderman]

Looks great, but the barrel looks like it may be in need of a little blue pill... 

[Mr. Burning]

Boiler and chimney/exhaust being finished. I need to get more bits to finish.

[rob_alderman]

Lovely job, looks great.

Looks like the cannon has risen a bit too!

  It wasn't so much a blue pull as glue from a bluish bottle!

[Mr. Burning]

Fresh update.

Worked on the turret by adding a top hatch, some of the KV2 tank bits. GW LRBT  hand grabs and added a plasticard cannon to the front armour.



I was going to just plate up the turret but decided against it, enough is enough!

[Lordblackwing]

Looks the business. Can't wait to see it painted. British colours I presume?

I'm not sure how its going to be painted yet. It has to be used in my 40k Imperial guard army as well...

[Mr. Burning]

Lack of luxury funds means that I have no primer to enable me to start painting this. 
I may add a few extra bits but don't want to tinker too much. A rest on the shelf will do it some good!

Just don't eat for a few days, then you'll save enough cash to proceed

Know what you mean about lack of funds, though. It's a real pain having projects bubbling away only to have them stall due to lack of cash to finish them.

I hope you are able get it finished soon
