Here is my poor mans Mauler tank lol. I picked up this generic tank about a year ago at a flea market for a dollar. It was missing the hatch lid so I fashioned one out of a white pizza box topper and made it so it can actually open and close. I dremeled out a part in the front and in the back so I could fit more figures in it. Then I put green stuff around the cut out parts so I could pop them back in without them falling through the holes in the tank. Then of course I had to paint the green stuff to match. The tank came with the black camo which I like, but I wanted to add another color in the camo scheme. Originally I was gonna make the 2nd camo pattern the same color as the mauler to pay homage, but then I decided it made more sense to match the one and only other desert vehicle I have (see color comparison in last photo). I painted the treads to look dirty too. This is my second attempt at customizing a vehicle.

You made that cheap tank look good - Great work Germ! Clever use of the pizza topper. I like the camo. Dirty treads are a nice touch too.
