Hello,
Some times ago I purchased a lot of AT-43 Red Block Walkers from Rackham. Lately I converted and weathered three of the smaller ones as test models.
The painting and choosen colors are quite good for prepainted models. I wanted to see what I could do with only some smaller conversions and some serious weathering.
This is a picture of the models as they came from the box:
I intended to equip the walkers with two of the HMGs. So I built a mold and cast some in resin.
The new bases are metal waschers with sand, little stones and rubble made from plaster glued on top.
I painted the new parts in the ground colors. Then I did some heavy weathering, mostly with oil colors and dry pigments. The bases were painted and drybrushed with acrylic colors to match my East Block Infantry

The second finished model, the squad leader:

And finally a groupshoot:
