The Glorious Kostromo
My entry for Weta's Rightous Bison Customization Contest over at The RPF
Phew! Got it sent in at the very last second; worked RIGHT up to the wire. Hopefully you like. The light up bits are actual Soviet neon tubes (like nixies) and took far more time than I'd expected to get running properly. Still have bugs. The farther you pull back the trigger, the faster the Dekatron on the back spins, and the more the bar graph tubes on the sides fill up with light.
The Glorious Kostromo. The United Republics of the Red Star got a hold of the original Bison, and had at the design, streamlining and instilling typical Russian reliability and brute force into a design that originally lacked them (though it made up for it with character!) This particular instance originally received the winter paintjob, though it's now gone to rust, and rests on a ceremonial Republic display stand.
