It;s a Gorn DN all right. But not by FASA. Theirs looks completely different.

I Need a Cybertank Figure (Not an OGRE) which is roughly 80mm Long.....

Does anyone know of any companies that produce such a figure, or is St Jon's
Figure dept able to help?

Just looking for that little Extra Sci-Fi flavour to Dirtside.

try toystores. There's All Sorts of weird sci-fi-ish figures out there.

It's somewhat shorter but Scotia makes a super heavy/multi turreted tank
in
1/300. You can get your local store to order it from Simtac.

Supertanks of all sizes, right up to humungous landships.

Personally, my favourite is their Gojira Hakaisha ("Destroyer of Godzillas")

I'm having a little trouble with the term 'not Ogre'. You just don't like that
design? Or are you wanting something in particular?

One of the most interesting Ogre I saw was a conversion used for a Ninja, made
from a Fasa Gorn BB, with tracks added on the bottom. Sleek and BAD. On the
other hand, you'll notice on eBay Fasa ships garnering a lot of expensive
interest.

I'm pretty certain that the Revirisco big tanks are smaller than your
description and the 'Landships' are basically Squat Land Trains meets WWII
BB's...

Describe in more detail your wants, and we can make better suggestions.

Scotia/Simtac put out some nice stuff with multiple guns and whatnot,
but they are not easy to come by. Superior Starfleets has a line called
MAATACS with a ton of cool looking armor units. Take a look at:

Another site is for Stan Johansen miniatures:

Over the years, I have bought numerous toy tanks that make excellent
oversize/cyber tanks in DSII.  Most are not big name items, but the kind
of stuff you occasionally find when passing down the toy isles. Always worth a
look. I have a couple of cool Matchbox tanks and some Galoob tanks that are
excellent for this. Of course they might need a new paint job and some
extra detail to look appropriate versus toy-like.

I would think about any tank can made to look like a cyber tank with some
minor mods like more sensors and less hatches, etc.

Unfortunatly Simtac seems to be genuinely out of business now. I tried to
place an order with them, and they are not shipping to Alliance (big
distributor that sells to many stores) and they are not returning phone calls.

At the Mad Miniature Modellers page he has a pic of a painted FASA Gorn BB
along with a bunch of other painted FASA ships, very nice.

My lord.... would you believe that I have NINE of those ships? I was
originally going to use them as 15mm drop shuttles...and then as 1/300
drop shuttles. Seeing them actually paited up as starships is kind of
inspiring, though. Of course, so is the idea of turning one of them into an
Ogre. Good thing that I'm in a kitbashing mood.
