Gun-mount blade arms! Noice!

I think I've included the basic elements & shapes of a Mantis. It looks very "slabby" at the moment but I'll break that up with panelling & detailing. The flame thrower mount needs beefing up as it looks a bit weedy now it's all one colour.





Now to make something similar for the other side, but in a more extended pose.

And a splash of my favourite colour ever - Verde Miura!

To be honest I'd chosen the colour scheme before I even started building. Something that would contrast between the old Russian tank parts and the new additions. I'm not sure if bright green would fit in with that but I'll see

I haven't had much time on this lately but I've been making a rocket launcher. Rockets are a bit wonky as yet, dry fitted to make painting easier, but it's coming together quite well.

And yes, it started life as a couple of Lego bricks
