Atomic Tank- Balls of Steel

#1 Post by dewberry1964 »

So, I found this crazy tank image online from the game World of Tanks. I thought that’s cool, what would the American counterpart be? A football of death of course. Atomic powered and armed with twin lasers. The figure is just for scale, I have a set coming just for this one.

That is....cool
It's not that I think stupidity should be punishable by death.

I just think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem take care of itself.

My hat's off too you! Really great example of scratch building skills. Build another one as a companion painted like an Easter Egg? Sorry, had to get that out of my head...

:like :like :like :like

That looks awesome! It reminds me little bit of the kugelpanzer, but much bigger and armed!

Dewberry1964,

That's Toooo Kewl!

Really nice paint finish, nice base and presentation, and nice complementary figure you included.

Interestingly enough, a similar plastic kit has recently been released, (the Soviet Ball Tank "Sharotank):

I wonder if yours is a distant distant American cousin of the Soviet "Sharotank"? :D
Keep the glue and paint flowing, take care and stay blessed!

Nicely done.

I believe there where concepts of these types of tanks.
I think i saw one on the cover of an old popular mechanics magazine.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Possibly a mine field clearing device.
