 <p>After more than a year, it looks I might finally be able to finish my Imperial Knight. Right now is only missing some details, the base and transfers, so while has taken me a lot, at least there's light at the end of the tunnel.</p> <p><img alt="Imperial Knight almost finished" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/wh40k_2/20150823_11.jpg"></p> <p>Also, I don't usually post images of my custom conversions until I have started painting them because they might take a while... but to not leave this post too short I'm going to show two vehicles I plan to paint soon. They are binded to the other because I wanted to build a Ork looted Leman Russ tak, but just one with some changes wasnt't looking different enought, so after some brainstorming, I came up with the idea of doing like in the old times... using a Rhino for everything. After this devilish mix of the APC and the tank, here are the two creatures...</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Ork Dakka Burna Tank</strong></p> <p>Leman Russ body, Space Marines Rhino sides and tracks, plus some spare tank weapons and "ork panels" that I had let (bought on the net somewhere a while ago). </p> <p>It was only a bit hard to separate the Rhino tracks from the main body without breaking any of them, everything else went smoothly and the tank captain has a funny crazy pose.</p> <p><img alt="Ork Dakka Burna Tank photo" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/wh40k_2/20150823_06.jpg"></p> <p><img alt="Ork Dakka Burna Tank photo" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/wh40k_2/20150823_07.jpg"></p> <p><img alt="Ork Dakka Burna Tank photo" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/wh40k_2/20150823_08.jpg"></p> <p><img alt="Ork Dakka Burna Tank photo" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/wh40k_2/20150823_09.jpg"></p> <p><img alt="Ork Dakka Burna Tank photo" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/wh40k_2/20150823_10.jpg"></p> <p><strong>Leman Russ Rhino conversion</strong></p> <p>Space Marines Rhino body, Leman Russ tracks. It is more simple, but I love how just "inverting the tracks" (using Leman Russ ones) creates the feel of a completely different tank, or in my case a different APC. </p> <p>As the Rhino has the sides "joined" with the tracks I had to improvise, but some spare doors (from other Rhinos) worked fine as walls. I had to make the rear door a bit smaller on the sides but in general was a quick assembly.</p> <p><img alt="Leman Russ Rhino conversion photo" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/wh40k_2/20150823_01.jpg"></p> <p><img alt="Leman Russ Rhino conversion photo" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/wh40k_2/20150823_02.jpg"></p> <p><img alt="Leman Russ Rhino conversion photo" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/wh40k_2/20150823_03.jpg"></p> <p><img alt="Leman Russ Rhino conversion photo" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/wh40k_2/20150823_04.jpg"></p> <p><img alt="Leman Russ Rhino conversion photo" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/wh40k_2/20150823_05.jpg"></p> <p> </p> <p>So... this are two of my three vehicle projects that I plan to paint when I finish with the Knight. The third one is an idea that I had after watching an old movie... but I'll leave the details and photos for when I paint it (it will be the first one of the list).</p>
