Picked up a new airbrush today, woohoo!!!
Thought I`d test it on the Battletank, much better results than a brush!
Anyway, Steeler is hiding out in the forest, playing the waiting game.
Beware any Shadows, you won`t see him coming!

Wow, that's a really good job! Looks production. Are you going to do any more? You could grey camo your SAS stuff too!

Thanks for that :)
Had lots of fun with this one. Left the original green on the tank and just sprayed the camouflage on.
I cut out some templates of camo patterns on some paper and used that.

Just be sure to use gloves, because I had a green left hand after holding the paper in place!

The bushes were in a pack from the local model shop , usually used for train sets etc, I
couldn`t resist though, thought they would give an extra edge to the tank.

That looks excellent Andy.

That's how the actual toy should have been!

Steeler has run into mechanical difficulties and called in assistance!
Cue the new Z Force Mechanic.
A master of all engines and panel beating skills, " Wrench " will come to the rescue!

Now that Mr T head is starting to really grow on me. It looks good with that camo scheme.Now all we need is a bio for him and a codename.

I was going to put an Ace head on instead, but Mr T has the mechanical knowledge
and tipped the balance.
Does need a good codename and bio, I don`t think there was a dedicated mechanic
apart from Wheels, but he was primarily a driver in the end.

How about Snap-On as a codename, after the range of tools?

Or
" Tools "
" Quickfix "
I have a spare Awe Sriker ready for a repaint, he needs an all terrain vehicle for nipping round the battlefield.
The ones done in Z Force colours look great so I may have to follow suit.
Couple of mods to carry his tools and it should shape up nicely :)
