    there aren't any like the cool one you have made readily available, though I think I have one somewhere from a forge world turret possibly. my guard tank conversions always just use the guard cupola from the leman russ because a) it is easier, and b) it is a nice identifiable part, a simple way of reinforcing the imperial guard aesthetic. your scratch built one does the same of course.

    Dude, if you wanted to be a machinist you would be rich as hell. Just wow, scratchbuilt awesomeness. Hatch looked fine IMO. Look forward to seeing more.

    I won't claim to be famliar with the cupolas of every tank FW make, but in the Macharius Vanquisher and Vulcan it's moulded straight into the turret.

    In the plastic Baneblade it comes as separate bits, so if you know someone who bought their Shadowswords/Stormlords after they got rolled into one eight-sprue kit...

    So it is and thanks for the info.



    Yet another reason to eventually purchase a plastic Baneblade; sigh.

    You should be able to get spare cupolas on ebay, I always have millions of them left over, the one you have built though is the old style one which used to come in the original plastic chimera kit (think they are all same size) which is the one FW still emulate. The new cupolas are a fair bit different but would still look ok.

    I have a resin forge world cupola, can't remember what it came from. Armageddon Medusa maybe?

    This is amazing.. I've never been able to master plasticard, personally. Always amazed at those who have, nicely done. Also, the larger turret looks way better

    Thanks for the reply,

    Embarrassing:

    I should be ashamed to post this as an update but I was busy with other pursuits this week.

    On the plus side I did manage to make the cryptic mechanical devices to go on the turret top and accomplish some of the wiring.

    Things should go a lot faster now that those are made.

    Lawn Care Flags:

    Suddenly they are everywhere and a bloody(by our lady) nuisance but here's a tip to recycle some of the d*mned things:



    The plastic staffed ones have an eighth inch staff/ 3,0 mm (approximately)and are extremely flexible and adequate for bundles of conduit whathaveyou. Certainly cheaper than four bucks a pop at your local hobby shop for similar Evergreen/Plastruct rods. Plus they are plastic glue compatible.

    Turrets Syndrome

    Damn me! I like how this has turned out.

    It's a pity I put off building this tank for so long but I feared the work was beyond my capabilities. I'm happy to say that it appears satisfactory so far.

    Detailing the turret as just a larger Baneblade seems to be adequate; it just requires plugging away at the detail bits until done. (Well Duh! Blackadder)

    The rear view shows that I still need to find an Aquila.

    The right side is rather plain compared to the busy left side.

    The front elevation reveals the lack of the business raison d'etre of this behemoth. That is to follow hopefully this weekend.
