Bigger is better!



Ooh, look what I found in a box! :D

This is a Grizzly tank; the fig on the front is roughly IG sized to give a sense of scale. I need to finish tricking it out and fix a couple of the tracks.

My word that's a big one!!

What the hell is that behemoth for (apart from blowing dirty big holes in the landscape)?

Is that resin? It'd be pretty weighty then if the answer if yes...

Yup it's resin and heavy as heck!

It'll mostly be used as a mission objective.

Or maybe in one of those really large games form the company that shall not be mentioned. As a super tank. I'd call it a Titan Killer for sure!

Haha, actually, it'd work as a rolling objective. "Stop the tank before it get's into position" (ie other side of the table), but not only does it have it's compliment of weird and wonderful dodging around it, it also has it's own turret defenses.

You'd better stop finding all these boxes, you'll never get it all painted if you keep getting sidetracked :D

Joe Kool said...

Yeah I thought the same thing too about having it be a rolling objective.

I never get distracted I just work on other projects. ;-)

Wait 'til you see what I'm in the process of sculpting. It is for this project.

Sculpting!?!? This is going to be interesting!!

Hey, I'm modeling a bauhaus grizzly battle tank for a high poly assignment in school. I've got almost _no_ ref apart from your pictures and the Paul Bonner painting plus some randomly found shots. Do you have any more pics of it? Or maybe you could take a few snaps from different angles? I'm modeling it in 3D and all I have is different perspective shots and no shots what so ever of the back. Would love it if you could take a few minutes to get some pictures over to me. You can reach me at mogki@hotmail.com. Hope to hear from you!
