Macharius Vanquisher - Tallarn Desert Pattern

Hi folks... This is the labour of love I've been working on the last three months or so. It's a Forgeworld Macharius Vanquisher heavy tank in a Tallarn desert cammo pattern. This model has been heavily re-worked with 76 custom made brass-etch details added including dust filters, tread plates, bearing covers, catch nets, RF shielding etc. It has turned brass barrels on the heavy stubbers and brass etch covers on the heavy flamers in the sponsons. It's hard to get all the details packed into a set of photos this small, but there are no transfers or decals on this model, all of the detail and freehands are hand painted. This represents about 175 hours total work for the modelling and painting, starting back in December 2007. Hope you like it! ....Ben

Just as a temporary update before the tank gets re-photographed... the Vanquisher won gold in the UK demons this year! Makes all those hours of work worthwhile! Ben

Damn, I planned to buy this model, now I`m scared `cause it won`t look as half as good you made it... -_- The first 10 I gave, really outstanding! Especially the tons of etched brass gadgets I appreciate!
