Those look great! I think the first looks a bit too weathered, but overall, all 4 of them look good. And I like the flames on the XLR

Yes... That's called a conversion.

Welcome to the hobby forum, my friend. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of the lingo in no time, heh.

Yup, this is where it belongs. Can you post the conversion for any or all, especially the turret? I would love to be able to do that!

i love the way how u did the first 3 u inspired me to do the same. and for megas xlr lol i loved watching that sow and it got cancled. like the way how you did the flames!

o at ur local hobby shop there is stuff like modeling putty (green stuff) you can use that so there wont be gabs when u shave off some of the arm and it makes it blend really good when u do conversians and it seems that u have a nack for it. keep it up there all good work! and welcome to tau online

Yeh good first 3 !!

I love the wounded firewarrior. I only modeled a firewarrior in the proces of falling down after taking a hit. I should paint that one up soon

I love the objective marker, altough I will never do that ( to expensive for my taste ; ) )
