Hmm....doesn't look like the existing barrel would cut it, but finding/creating a substitute shouldn't be too hard...

Wow I feel like I need a cigarette after looking at those tanks!
I'm happy with how it turned out.
I will have to start looking around for some.  If only that Clan Blood spirit
tank with the double large laser turret was that big.

I'm amazed that the Carnivore comes two to a pack! That's a lot of metal for my money.

It is indeed an amazing deal. I'm certainly not complaining.

I am disappointed in the Talos sculpt. I am surprised it wasn't sculpted after this in MechWarrior IV Mercs or like they did for the Diemos, also from MW4 Mercs.

But this is a completely different Talos Mech. The MechWarrior Talos was an Assault Mech (and entirely not canon), the canon Talos is a 50ton Mech from the Reunification War era (which looks much better in my opinion).
