This is something I've been working on for awhile, and now she's mostly finished (aside from some odds and ends and random stowage)
She started as a 1/12 RC Airsoft tank, which was rescued from Good Will in rough shape for 7 bucks.
I used bits and bobs from all sorts of things, including gum container covers for the hatches, a mint tin
for an extra storage container, extra guns from a 3¾" Snowspeeder toy I had kicking around, a 1/6 scale
WWII German Zeltbahn, some 1/24 scale decals, and lots of paint.
And the crew.
From left to right: Engineer (backpack has since been repainted, it was a last minute addition), Commander, Pilot, and Co-Pilot.
They've been done up for awhile in anticipation of this, all in WWII German Pea Dot style.
This should really help make for some interesting photos. The only challenge now is preventing my 4 year old from destroying it.
