I decided to start work on a Leman Russ for my new Imperial Guard force, which I'm waiting for to arrive. I've never really bought vehicles despite all the glory in 5th Edition, instead focusing on building up my infantry.
But vehicles are bloody expensive. Whereas you can get 10 infantry models for say $30, a tank costs $50 for one model.
So I decided to go the cheap, 'Paper hammer' way. As you can see, I built the beginnings of a Leman Russ with bits of cardboard cut out from a cereal box, and a template I got from the interwebs. It's fething tiring and my fingers are sore, but it helps me save some money.
Virtual Stranger at his blog: http://thegrimcheapness.blogspot.com.au does an amazing job with these. When painted up, it looks basically indistinguishable from a real 40K model.
Perhaps in a month's time, I'll be able to achieve this level of quality...Hopefully.
