It looks big and imposing when customized with bitz and eventually figures; especially on a Warhammer40K game board since it's made to a larger scale than official Warhammer models. But it seems like an expensive way to go when Italeri M-107s are selling for $80.00 - $100.00+ online . . . if you can find them. (And in sharp contrast to your "Poor Boy Warhammer Leman Russ Tank" video that shows how to get excellent results on a budget.) Overall, your custom build looks great. But you could have probably bought an actual Basilisk (or even a Baneblade) with the money you got by selling your unbuilt M-107 online to an armor modeler, with a few dollars left over. I'm checking out Hobby Lobby tomorrow for those parts you suggested in the fabric section. Thanks again! 23rd like.
I'd like to see you scratch build, (in the manner of your "Poor Boy Leman Russ Tank,") a Superheavy Basilisk based on the WW2 "Paper Panzer" Landkreuzer P 1500 Monster, that was to be armed with a 800mm(!) gun. Now, THAT has the "look and feel" of W40K! I bet you could do that for under $30.00. And next time when you get your hands on the Italeri M-107; build it stock. @@tarman1634
Great STuff!
Oooooo.
That's a rare & expensive "Beastie" 😳
My take, may do the same thing but scratch build everything. GR8 vid none the less 👍👍

Oh yeah definitely can be expensive with that tank just a different option to make something bigger and more impressive
