Red Shadow M1 Battletank Custom .........

Post by Andy1672 »

Not sure if anyone remembers this one ...

Freedom Force tank which my daughter bought for me for 50p from the charity shop.

anyway .... I finally got around to doing something with it .......

so here is my new Shadow Tank ........

a quick rummage through the custom box provided the Tank Commander......

Image

A spare Shadowtrak Gun to replace the damaged original .......

Image

Some random objects covered in net ......

Image

Not sure what this box thing is .... but I painted it black anyway .......

Image

With the gun this is quite long which makes it awkward to fit into the pic !

Loving it mate! Funny enough I have a Lanard tank undercoated for the same purpose.

Very impressive Andy maybe add a Shadow logo to the front as it's bare.

I like the front as it is (though I also liked my Bomberman figures without their stickers and I liked them more with their stickers applied)

As cool as that tank is, I'd say that Commander is stand out. He really looks the part and has that VAM look too. Absolutely perfect. Amazing, Andy, well done.

The commander's very good indeed, I like the effect of using red for the top half, makes it look like he's been issued with an old fashion style B D jacket..you've captured that whole re-coloured W.W.2 German's as :enemy: thing spot on with this one Andy! Top Stuff!
Did you used to work for Palitoy in a previous life? :lol:

Cheers Ironblood, I think a shadow logo on the front would be a bit much because I have 2 on the turret.

But I agree the front does look a bit plain and it needs ....... something ?

ooo Lanard tank ! is it the Corps assault tank ? I always liked that one ... heavily tooled up and I think it has 4 figure ports.
