Hi tankers!
Well its a new custom of repainting and redoing a Peacekeepers vehicle. Today its their so called: Main Battle Tank. But in real -its a copy of real Abrams tank. Well the size isn't exactly 1/18, its more like 1/19 or even 1/20. So what I've made: First of all - I repainted it in desert (on the first photos you will notice that I'd repainted it before in a kinda woodland scheme) Added some Peacekeeprs, Bbi's gear. Duffle bags - are hand made The reactive armor - is a simple cardboard boxes glued together. Also I've cutted out the gunners turret and added a gunshield made of a soft paper-holder. Now this construction can rotate 360 and the gun can rotate itself in a 360 and up and down degrees. I've cutted out the gunners windows and pushed them forward, and rebuilded it with cardboard. The engine cover - also made of cardboard. Prints and labels - are made of a simple paper-print and glued on. Everything else - handpainted, glued or wired =P Hope you will enjoy the photos. Thx for watching! P.S.: Sorry for my english) Reposted most of the pics in my profile album: HissTank.com - G.I. Joe - HUNMARINE's Album: M1A2 "Nutcracker" custom Last edited by HUNMARINE; 08-09-2017 at 01:24 PM.. |

And also - I've called this baby Nutcracker and added 49 just of this thing: Robotchicken =)...Yeah..I'm a fan of this show. So...there a "bad" nutcracker who knows 100 technical attacks to crack your nuts))))...In the episode he was using number 49. So this is the story =) |

Nice work! I like the "Chicken Plate" up top. I would have maed it from Styrene sheeting. If you ahve never used it, it pretty user friendly. There are various thicknesses and they have clear sheets for windows too. You can find it at most hobby stores, I get mine from Hobby Town USA.

Yeah I was thinking about styrene. Well finally I've founded it at a model/hobby shop here in Moscow, Russia. But it's price is a bit high. It costs nearly 10-15 us dollars for 1-2 sheet. So its much easier to get some unuseful cardboard boxes for free and use them or get some good materials from the work (gems, wires, paper-holders and such) Yeah I know, I'm not a good worker =P...but it works. Anyway - thank you for your advice. I'll try use it in the future. |
