Leman Russ? Really? *facepalm*

[MaltonNecromancer]

I have discovered something... remarkable. In that I feel I have to remark on it. And by remark, I mean post the pictures for you all to see.

First, I include this seller's eBay pitch:

Leman russ tank, home made from plaster. exact replica of games workshop
some base coated in silver, one in white.

some have air holes and small defects but generally all good. Small defects just add to battle scared tank look.
Once painted would look fine.

they have no sponsors / guns, these are to be added by yourself.

So, you think okay, you're clearly stealing GW's IP, okay, how bad can they bRRRAAAAAGGH OH MY GOD!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!!

HE WANTS £10 FOR THESE! TEN QUID!

I can't get over the fact that

a.) Someone has done this.
b.) They actually this these atrocities are worth selling

and

c.) Some poor little kid is going to get bought this by his well-meaning parent and show up at his local club to be roundly mocked for bringing what is clearly a used turd in place of a tank.

The bare-faced cheek of it is beyond me.

Can it not be reported as being "fake"?
Seriously they are some messed up mould lines. You would have thought the seller would have at least cleaned it up a little bit.
And plaster?! Really is resin that hard to get hold of? One drop and it's going to shatter like the dreams of tiny Tim when het gets those bad boys for Christmas.

That's shockingly bad, I think I'd rather invest my £10 behind the bar...

Thanks for posting this. I needed a doorstop for my garden gate.

That's terrible. Maybe someone should copy the link from his eBay page and send it to GW. If I must partake in the plastic crack, the ****s gotta be the real deal.

I just emailed GW.

"Um sir, what is with the uh...that line over there?"
"Huh? Oh that, don't mind that, Betsy here was in the Battle of Gormos IV. A Reaver Titan sliced her clean down the middle, but the boys managed to salvage BOTH halves and stitch her right back up together again. Besides, onces she's painted the enemy will never know..."

Kill it. With fire.

How'd you do that? O_o

You have to admit, this is pretty funny, considering some of what I've seen on eBay. My favorite are the people in Russia selling Primarch models, because they appear to be resin casts of at least some quality.

From a purely practical standpoint, even painted and sealed, wouldn't the edges of this constantly crumble apart?
