My Tank of the 7th Royal Armored cavalry attached to 1171st Lower Barro Homeland Bound battalion. And A Water tanker of the 3rd Coftyran Crymuster supply section, “The Red Flag Express”
Both the Tank and the Tanker are from Disney’s, Atlantis the lost empire toys that I picked up on EBay.
The Tanker is mostly as is with the exception of the tarp on the back, which I made out of green stuff to cover a hinge on the back (the barrel originally opened up for a missile to be launch from inside) the roof for the cab was added from another truck and a piece of Plastic card was use for the windscreen to add some protection for the driver. The Quar driver was made with more green stuff over the body of the original driver and a spare Quar Head.
The Tank was made from another Disney toy along with lots of plastic card for widening the body, window slits, and hatches for the driver and gunner, rear hatch and the extra armor plating around the turret. The Turret itself was made from the inner plastic ring from some desk tape. The Cannon, flag holder and heavy shotgun mount (I’ll have to pick up another) were all made from bits of extra tubing with the turret hatch being made from my contact lens packaging.
The paint was straight forward using Reaper and Vallejo paints (browns, tans and Iraqi sand highlights) The Flag of the 1171st Lower Barrow Homeland Bound battalion is proudly displayed on one side of the turret and guideon of the 7th cavalry fly’s above.
