SLB Heavy Industries next project – MBR-04-MkVI DESTOID TOMAHAWK
a.k.a.  Battletech Warhammer


Started this Saturday, must say the kit is engineered very well, no sink holes, no flash and all the sprue tabs are located where they do not show. Most of the major seam lines, except a few, are hidden after assembly. Great fit too. Will have to look at other kits by Wave Corporation (??).  By the way, I did order this from Japan for a pretty penny.

Steve, the Griffin hovertank turned out great! I really appreciate the big stompy robot as your next project since I have a couple Gundam kits in the queue myself. If only I could sit down and work without hearing “Daaa-Deee” every few minutes!  ;D

As said elsewhere about the Griffin hovertank:

Weathering takes it into a whole new realm of "That looks so right it's scary! :o "

Definitely love it! :-* 8)

Direct copy from t'other post:

M60A2 "Spaceship" almost living up to the nickname here. ;)

Great build, Steve! Very cool! 8) 8)

You do that worn look much better than I've ever been able to achieve. :smiley:


I can see the Griffin & ELUNIA tanks going into battle side-by-side*! :D


... or, alternately, against each other! :icon_surprised:





*: or at least as side-by-side as you'd want to in a tank battle with counter-fire flying everywhere.

Another winning addition to the SLB Heavy Industries line of products.  Gives me the itch to make an armed/armored hover vehicle.

SLB Heavy Industries latest.
IDF Achzarit
Meng’s Achzarit (early) with Trumpeter tracks and Meng’s IDF load carrying equipment.




Hydra Hovertank.
Scratch built from sheet styrene and tube. Body is based on a Panther hull. The turret of course is a Tiger I, and the secondary turrets are from a couple of BTR’s.
