Well I had the guts to strip down this roughly built Battle tank I made years ago on the hope I could now do better.
The stuff lying around it was on the top, but looked to Orkish for SM to have built.
I've been pondering over the idea for some time of having some sort of gigantic tank, that not only has so many guns on it thats its a army by itself, but also has a building on the back of it with a massive cannon sticking out the front of it.
Now these pics are at a point where I have so much to do to it, but got the basic structure built. So now time for immense detail work.
This part, level 1 contains the engine to the back, bigger than a normal one. Of course the engine room is imaginary as containd within the LR.
The front section houses the ammo, for the uber battle cannon, the vindicator cannon and the rest of the small arms on board. Again imaginary.
The main cannon is made from Battle cannon from the FW Thunderhawk, an old Rhino, lasscannons, part of a receipt roll and some plastic hobby piping.
The inside as you can see the parts, this was made a while back, part of another model that fell and exploded into a few hundred pieces so b*lls to putting that back together.
The building part is made from the Cities of Death box set stuff. In this section(level 2) will be troop and light ammo room. This section comes away from the LR(level 1) so will have interior, benches, control panels etc, etc.
looks a little big for the LR, could say the scales way off, but it looks better once you see everything on there.
Level 3, this part houses the command "office" you could say, so will have plenty of little controls/display screens and alike. Towards the front of Level 3 will be a obversation deck sticking out just over the main gun. This brings the building back towards the front a little. Not seen here as waiting to later in the project to stick it on.
This part also comes away form Lev 2, so a good veiw of the "office" can be seen. Depending on how I am able to fit the controls. I plan to add some sort of gun battery on the top as well, but I'll see how it turns out.
Here I have added balconies to both sides on Lev 2. Also I balanced the Uber cannon so you can get a impression of what it will look like.
The front of the of this vehicle I felt was a little thin for the size of it, also from the recoil of the main gun firing, which will rotate. So I added some extra width, this part is still under construction and had to fit it just right as have 2 heavy bolter sponsons just above the extra tracks.
This happend while carving out the doors to the building parts, not only did the blade break into 3 pieces but the middle part flew right into my friggin eye...OUCH!
I guess I could list the weapons.
Battle cannon, with TL lasscannons and heavy flamer
main body.
will have 4-6 heavy bolters, 2 assualt cannons, vindicator cannon, heavy flamer and 2 TL lassconnons.
At the top maybe a turret of some kind with 2 TL heavy bolters and I also might try and stick in a multimelta or 2 somewhere.

I suppose you will be using VDR for it?
