this looks very smart.

i agree it needs something on the front, maybe some shadow style lettering??

the tank commander is outstanding, may have to copy this

Thanks for the comments guys !

The tank commander was just made up from crap I had left over, just so I had a guy to drive this thing.

I thought he looked like he had chesty pants but they cant be seen when he is driving, so no probs.

I will have a think about the front end and maybe add something later.

This is the one mate. Although I've made a few mods. I would have had it done sooner but for some reason when I sprayed the Plastikote super onto seal it, it wrinkled!

How about some little rolls of barbed wire on the front?

It may look better with "stuff" rather than more stickers ?

maybe even a bit of net with some tools etc underneath ? barbed wire would be cool but I dont have any :-(

Those twisty things from the toy packets, or de-insulate down some normal wire (if that makes sense?)
