    Howdy guys and gals! This is my first custom post here on the ol' Radicons, and today its gonna be my LSOTW Guzzle. Inspired by a bunch of y'all this guy has elements from others but hope its got some SWoD flavor to help stand out a bit. Made from a Hailstorm body, with RTS bumblebee hands, Head and chest plate from by CALLOWAY75 on Shapeways ,tank turret from Skullgrin, and a trusty pen casing for his over compensating tank barrel. Lots of washes and dry brushing dirt effects after the flats were laid down. Details all over. Hope you dig!
