I did not like the original tank, the one from the Beer Wagon kit fits much better...

Thank you, Dave! B)

 

 

Now, such a build retreat to the length, and never seem to be ready...


... but, where is the fun factor?


Sometimes, much more fun are the heavy paths and the journey is the destination... ;)

 

Green = Leek, comes from a PLAYMOBIL®- set

Rosy = Flower, comes from another PLAYMOBIL®- set

Yellow = Hat, comes from a Kinder Egg- Gimmick figure

White = a piece of polystyrene

Well, yes, the flower pot, I could quickly make it on the lathe...

... but, where is the fun factor? ;)

 

Here's a possibility if you have no lathe on Hand...


The hat loses his sun protection...

Congratulations on your fantastic progress so far, Boban.  I am really enjoying your creative use of such a wide variety of materials to produce a very unique model.  I like the way you think!

And like many others, making those hinges out of crimped earing clamps just blows me away!

 

Cheers

Alan

Thank you all for the kind words, I appreciate that very much!B)

 

As a modeler, you must always keep your eyes open for such things. 

If we look a second time, these turn out to be true treasures...;)

 

The only disturbing thing is, the time it is applied to search,  Things that you know exactly how they should look, and that they are also available somewhere, but just then, they are nowhere to be found... :P
 

Just like these three things for the planned dio...
 
... it has taken an eternity to find this, and again as long to keep it in the hands...

There is still much to do...

Thank you for the kind words, Mike!

Well, I'll probably buy two of them...;)

 

Even if Round2 does reissue this kit, it would be a major disappointment compared to what you've created! And probably no where near as fun to build as yours appears to be.

Amazing,  just amazing!

Thanks for sharing.
