Another Leman Russ... (UPDATE 12 July 2007)

Whilst I agree that the blade needs re-doing, I like the idea of the wording on it.

If it were mine, I would get myself a decent sized stencil from a stationers and stencil it on, as this is usually the way markings are done to military vehicles IRL. You could even make one yourself using a computer, a suitable font, some card and a scalpel.

Love the cadian BTW, very nice work! I like this project a lot.

This is a greta project. I wouldn\'t go with the black and yellow stripes as that to me would clash harshl;y with all the red. The idea of the cadia flag sounds rather cool.

This thread is back, from outer space, it just walked in to...

Ah, never mind. Here\'s an update.

Still some touch up and finishing to do. I\'m pretty pleased with the nearly final result though.

Feedback would be most welcome.

The crushed show with the track marks needs muddying mate (Plus nearby snow from spatter)

You could also add authenticity by making it look melted using water effects or whatever.

Excellent.

Looks good - although those are more mealy bags than sand bags - sand bags should be about 1/4 that size.

I know, pesky bastards who have actually filled them should STFU!!!lol

All part of the plan. I have some Vallejo water effect to use in the tracks, after I muddy them, and to put on the engine housing where the snow would melt.

Big sandbags? I know. I followed a measurement I found online for 1:48 sandbags, finished the base, and *then* added the footslogger. Too late.

SWEEEEEEET
i know you still have some touching up to do
so i dont know if this is on the to do list but i would think the snow would be much dirtier on the treads.
this is my favorite peice you have done to date. cant wait to see it done
