Converting a Leman Russ: Adding internal sponsons

17th January 201840k, Build, Krieg, Videos

How I’ve scratch built internal sponsons using plasticard for the 40k Leman Russ tank in the style of Forgeworld’s Malcador tank.

UPDATE: If you are interested in buying these, they’re now available to buy. These sponsons are compatible with 28mm scale tanks such as Games Workshop’s Leman Russ kit and Forgeworld’s Mars-Alpha Leman Russ.
