Tank WIPs

I have tried so many times to paint space marine Rhinos and Land Raiders (when I started playing 40k it was called Rouge trader and there was no tanks back then - only instructions on how to build your own baneblade using plasticard :-)). And I have never really enjoyed it. It has been forced and even the original Rhino (tiny) felt like a choir.

But I got three leman russes the other day and I have not been able to stop painting them for my DKOK force - I just put everything else on hold and went at it. I think it might have to do with the LR being more akin to real tanks.. almost a little retro a la WWII... that I enjoy it so much.

Also - I got these of BT (as menitoned before from chadbacca) and they came with the minesweeper bart attached... I broke it off and magnetized the hell out of it. Picking up a model and the part and just hearing the click as the part fits is almost like porn - so darn satisfying :-)
