This is a conversion of a Revell 1/35th scale US Army M1A2 Abram Main Battle Tank to Imperial Guard.
I'm not entirely sure what sort of tank it would be RULES-wise - maybe a Baneblade variant?
Anyway - the WIP thread can be seen here http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/viewthread.php?tid=28464 along with additional photos.
It was fun to build, although VERY fiddly at times - especially the tracks!
I wanted to make it as "realistic" as possible, with the amount of weathering and mud effects.
The mud was a simple mixture of brown and black paint, PVA glue, a clump or two of static grass and some sand. This was then mixed into a delicious paste  And flicked up using a manky old brush 
This tank also had a fair bit of greenstuff scratchbuilding too - mainly the tank commander's arms.
There is also a scratchbuilt Bergen backpack on the turret, and a larger canvas roll than is included with the GW sprue. I also added a cup of tea and a book to add a little character and humour to the piece
The decals came with the kit itself.

Thanks guys
I'm sue I could've converted this more, hacked and slashed and used plasticard, etc... And thinking about it, if I got bored I could still make it a looted Ork vehicle later or convert it to Chaos
I've got at LEAST three more kit-conversion ideas... Not tanks either |
