Just because I can !

[Stroezie]

Sometimes I get an idea to build something, not because I need it for a game but just because I can.

So I built this today, say hello to my little 6mm retro scifi tank 







Sadly, as is often the case, I got so caught up building the thing, that I completely forgot to take pictures during construction.
To atone for my sins I'll try to give you a list of the components used.

5mm foamcore for the main hull.
The drives are a 6mm bead, a piece of tubing from a kids balloon and a .177 air rifle pellet.
The turret is a 10mm bead which has been ground down almost but not completely halfway and the barrel is the gas vent valve from a mini bic lighter.

All in all this was an easy and fun little project, I hope this will inspire you to try some scratch building yourself.

Also for those wondering, the minis in the pictures are GZG NAC troopers which I added a green stuff helmet crest and a cape to.

Hope you enjoyed my idle afternoon's labour as much as me 

Cheers,
Stroezie.

Some people have remarked about seeing a similar tank in a larger scale.
Well, that could be because I made one like it for my 15mm Trigan Empire inspired forces a few years back 





Trigan Empire and Storm are some of my all time favourite comics and a lot of my scifi gaming borrows heavily from them so certain designs tend to pop up again over the different scales I play.

Very cool, I do wish the current Storm comics would be released in English.
