So...my love/hate relationship with the various Epic Leman Russ variants has ended in hatred. RagnaRusses filled the void for a little while, but I just needed something that was not quite so big for an MBT. I know that the 1/285 tends to be a little small, next to an 8mm Epic model, but these experiments have turned out rather well. I'll be retaining my Thunderers and Destroyers as "Heavy" tanks, the "Centurion-Russ" will be my new MBT, and Chimeras and their variants will sort themselves out. Superheavies and Malcadors will be also be included.
Enter my vast collection of Arab-Israeli Wars microarmor...
I started playing around with a few of my spare turrets and a couple Centurion chassis' and came up with this;
Quickly painted to prevent flash-washout
And here's one with a standard Israeli Upgraded-Centurion, as well as the Thunderer
They don't look half-bad on an M60/M48 chassis either! I've got a ton of GHQ and CinC Cents, so we'll see where this goes.
