I've been "upgrading" some more of my old Exodus Wars MBTs. Some needed a little "repairs" as they didn't model out. Others I just wanted to make a little more like "modern" MBTs. The first one was an assault gun model. But I needed a Baneblade type of MBT. I found a circular disc in the bitz boxes and use it as a turret ring. Some of the upgrades were from my bitz boxes others from Vanguard , etc.

These are really nicely done and certainly evoke a more modern feel.

Thank you very much ! When I was in US Army and an Infantry Officer, my Mech Co.[M113 APCs, looked like Rhinos!] was often attached to a Tank Bn. Or a Tank Co. attached to my Mech Bn. Mostly M60A1 and some M1IP MBTs. But what really got me to thinking was the footage of the current conflict in the Ukraine ... sadly an unfortunate event for inspiration. Plus, my study and modelling of WWII German, Russian, etc. AFVs.
