how did you do the camo netting? It's just bandage, just super glue it in a few places, using the least amount of glue possible, to get the rough shape you want, and once it's dry cover the bandage with 50/50 PVA glue and water. The bandage goes hard, making it alot easier to paint. I'm using the Basilisk to make a Manticore at the same time (I'm slightly addicted to magnets)  [glow=red,2,300]top tip:- [/glow]write or draw on were your going to put on squad/company transfers or markings, stops you covering them in extra bits and not having enough room after   sprayed inside black so the spent tube will be dark if you look down it  |

That looks really cool Rich, its already got a lovely level of detail  I especially like the detached heads on the pioneer tools, its a great touch! Will you go for a battle damaged look or a cleaner finish? |

Will you go for a battle damaged look or a cleaner finish? just mudding up the track, and maybe a bit of weathering, I'm of the opinion that they would be behind gun lines, so not to heavily damaged now feeling under pressure to do a good job just some updates, i've made up the launcher so that it folds down (when transporting into battle), and a few other small conversions to the main body of the transport      |

I really like the gun shield on the stubber - may well 'borrow' that idea for some of my own vehicles...

just a little more detailing  and I've figured out an easy way to have spinning hatches, for the heavy stubber / bolter ( I've put a magnet in the bottom of the hatch for my gunner to attach to, a bases with no slot would be better if you don't want to do this )    and done quick and simple !! |

cheers guys, I'm pretty pleased with it Did you write that "Beware of blast"? afraid not, just some old transfers from an air-fix kit next project :   I'm waiting for some more magnets to arrive, but so far all the turret and sponson weapons are done this one will be my command tank, so it may take some time to finish  |

Great job, rich. Especially covering up the gaps with GS, and the camo nets.

I like the mud/grass texture you have go going there. And nicely finished manticore/earthshaker. I am afraid I have yet to fully embrace magnets myself.
