Thanks for the feedback, guys!
While the tank does have a hint of inspiration from WH40K, I think I just
ended up trying to model with a 40K feel, but ended up sorta unintentionally
looking like the Leman Russ. Oh well :D
I wouldn't mind getting a look at those models, James. Pictures!
Plus theres one other thing that makes brikwars better - in 40K, when a
model dies, you can't pull it to bits and scatter it on the battlefield
without suffering a real lot of anguish later!

Keep up the construction!

Zac

(...) Yeah, I think Zac mentioned a Warhammer inclination when I first saw it in the ABS (I got a sneak preview a few weeks ago :) ) I'm no fan of WH40k, but the model certainly looked cool. Certainly went a lot of trouble to fit that much stuff (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
