FOR SALE: Vintage 1990s Leman Russ PRO-PAINTED (UPDATE: SOLD)
18THIS MODEL HAS NOW BEEN SOLD
Available for sale is this one-off unique Leman Russ battle Tank, rescued from a terrible paint job and totally re-painted for my YouTube series "Tabletop Trauma Centre".
The model was purchased built and painted from eBay in 2019, stripped, modified slightly and re-painted to a professional display standard. The entire was filmed for the YouTube series, which you can watch here:

This is a vintage early 1990s Leman Russ Battle Tank model, which included the black plastic tracks, and a now-rare white metal Commander figure. Some evidence of the original poor construction - such as visible gaps - were left as is, because the video series about this model was demonstrating how the original modeller could have painted it better. One locking tab on the turret was missing and this has not been replaced, but the turret will still lock into place satisfactorily. Some small details such as an Aquila, weapons and small detail parts were added but mostly the model remains as it was originally built. Original damage to the dozer blade was left as-is and incorporated into the weathering scheme as battle damage.
The model has been painted to a display standard using acrylics, oils, enamels and various weathering powders and represents over 50 hours' work. Although the model has been fully varnished and could be played in-game, it has been painted as a display model and as such the long-term durability of elements such as the weathering pigments used cannot be guaranteed to survive the regular handling and rough-and-tumble of tabletop play.
I have signed the model inside.
