New Project! A Rescued Russ!

For my Sisters of Battle Postulants (who will function as Imperial Guard Astra Militarum in game) I wanted a Leman Russ variant tank (probably with meltas and flamers and so forth). I looked around eBay to see how cheaply I could get a Leman Russ. And I found this.

If you are reading this after the listing has dropped off the edge of the world, it is an assembled and part-painted Leman Russ tank, missing the turret, for $10 including shipping. So, a bargain in every respect.

The model in question

It looks to be in decent shape - I don't know what that paint is or how thick it is, but it does not look awful. It seems to be pretty complete.

Here is the project I am going to undertake - I will rescue the Russ and document the process; I've rescued a number of eBay finds before, but never really documented how I do it. I don't have a "process" per se - I am not some "tank whisperer" or anything like that. But pictures and descriptions of what I do might be interesting or instructive to others.

I will document this both here and on my other blog. For now, I just need to wait for the model to arrive!
