If you were to add some rivets made from half beads or styrene rod, that'd look very effective once painted. Like you said, riveting isn't great as it's old tech for tanks from ww1, but seeing how the majority of imperial guard stuff has a ww1 aesthetic it fits
This design of the leman russ looks much better than gw's design it looks well proportioned has a much better turret and is not riveted together but if I were to use this design I would use a pen, mechanical pencil, or a straw for the main gun
I'm not a gamer, but I've been building models for over half a century. This is some good, old-school scratch building you are doing, Mr. TAR MAN. In this day and age of 3D Printing, it's good to see that the old ways haven't completely gone out of style. I do have a question: Where did you get those bags of plastic disks / wheels you used for detailing shown at 0:28? (Did you find these at Hobby Lobby, along with the Jewelry Storage Tubes you used for the cannon?) I've got some scratch building ideas of my own that could use these details, and I suspect that here I'm not alone here among your viewers thinking this. 26th like. Subscribed.
Thanks! Next time I'm at Hobby Lobby, I'll check that out. What are they? They don't look like buttons. Does toluene-based solvent work on them, or did you use Super Glue?@@tarman1634
I just got 'em! In case anyone else is interested, they're called "Plastic Snaps," part number 345975, and are made by "Sew-Ology." One of the snaps' details even looks a bit like the wheels on a German Panzer IV. Thanks for the tip, TAR MAN! @@tarman1634
Brother, Write a Description and Hashtags...so CZcams can show this to the People that need or want it. It deserves a ton of Views! Thanks for doing awesome stuff! Greetings from Windy Germany!
It’s the madness of the 40K universe. As a self propelled artillery guy I look at the barrel to turret and vehicle ratio of Imperial vehicles and often wonder how the ammo racks are laid out. Then I think of the poor loaders; even with hydraulic assistance; because I’m pretty sure auto-loading tec was largely lost in the dark age.
The model looks very good and your scratch building skills are great. Thanks for sharing this.
Great work on the tank.
The elevator music is killing me.
Good

Next time you build a Russ or a Chimera, try giving it 1:30 scale Tiger tracks. The extra width makes a Russ look a lot more aggressive!
You know, I was thinking about that because I actually had one laying around but keep your eyes peeled. There is another future tank coming

U just earned another sub! Please make more for Imperial guard tanks like chimera or hell hound 🙏🏼♥️

Thanks I love the old way of doing things that’s just what I know and yes I got those at Hobby lobby in the fabric section
There are some good bits in the fabric section !!

Rivets on AFVs (armored fighting vehicles) is pretty a-spalling! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Dad/tanker jokes, they are pretty bad.
Hopefully the Imperium has the technology of spall liners.
And he DElivers Another One. This one looks GREAT!
Why thank you
And you just earned your 555th sub. This is great
Maaaaaaaaaaaan AMazing!
barrel a bit too thikk for my taste but still excellent job
Agreed if I were to redo it, I try to find something a little bit thinner
