WIP PROJECT: armoured company column

so the story goes like this...

i know a guy who is doing a Krieg army, so he has been buying lots of FW krieg tanks. thanks to the spazzmoloids they seem to employ at lenton doing the QC he had to keep having stuff re sent, so he ended up with several spare Russes.

he couldnt be assed to sell them on ebay as its a 'king hassle, so he said he would swap two complete old style russes on sprue and one new style one without track sides or bottom hull for two boxes of Corsairs. thats not quite how it happened but its good enough.

so i ended up with two old style russes and half a new one. BUT if you remember when i bought the Destroyer i also had a spare upper hull, turret and stuff. so i ended up with two and two halves. i made a smuch as i could and thought...

"I need bits".

so i went to www.bitzbox.co.uk and dropped so lucky . they had two sets of track sides at £4.50 each side, and two bottom hulls at £1!!! so it came to £20 all in, with free postage!

i heartily recomend bitzbox as it came dead quick and was much cheaper than the other sites doing bits. the only pisser is they hardly have anything in stock!

so for £40 iv got myself FOUR new tanks. how cool is that?

the first russ with drybrushing, weathering, details and decals. this one is fitted with the exterminator weapon option but can be fitted with any of the standard russ weapon options even tho it is the old style turret. i very handy feature

just needs tracks.

three more to go!

When you created this topic, I thought this was very cool, but when a similar thing recently happened to me I understood this is fuckin' cool.

Superb work as usual.
