Previously its been painted who knows how many times (at least 4 or 5 I'm thinking, one atop the other with no stripping in between). Then I sunk it in the simple green for a year and a half, scraping the resulting muck off only to start and stop painting once again, mid-project. Then I shelved it for another 6 months or so. However, now my ancient predator (my first ever GW purchase) is getting repainted yet again!

| Yeah....no. |
When we last saw this venerable old wreck, it was bearing a partial Alpha Legion scheme for 30k. But...I didn't much like how it was turning out (seems what works on infantry doesn't necessarily translate to vehicles) and then I sold that army rendering the paint moot. I pondered selling it, but instead opted to repaint it (per tradition), this time in the colors of my Rainbow Warriors.

| Better... |
Currently its kinda plain and I think I'll keep it that way, opting instead for the usual grime and filth to be added after decals. As for those, I'm thinking of lightning streaks behind white aquilas (will have to root thru the decal collection to see what I have), maybe with rainbow painted feathers.

Will see, but its proceeding nicely so far...

This is still my favorite tank design of any Rhino variant that GW has ever produced.
I fondly recall a couple of teenagers asking what model kit I'd converted this out of at Gamesday Atlanta one year, lol. Before I could reply, the guy next to me said 'that's the original kit, the reason you've never seen it before is cause its older than you are kid!'
Looks good :-) I still have mine in the original Wolves camouflage I painted them in the ancient times... Yours looks MUCH better :-)
Brilliant!
...and I love the new look. Nice work.
Impressive and beautiful model, well done!
