The grav tank, an unnamed class at the current time, mounts a heavy fusion gun in a remote turret, as well as two ball turret mounted auto cannons for anti-personnel use.
The grav tank is powered by a fusion reactor. The reactor is normally enclosed by armoured panels but the Harook like the pretty purple light it gives off and so frequently leave them off.
Here's the original version, a Tron diecast flying thingamajob.
The turret is slightly truncated steel warrior (plastic mecha/power armour job) gun, chosen mainly because I have more of them than any other bit and I've got 4 more of these Tron vehicles to convert. One of them may have to have a different gun unless I can find another one.
The ball turret mounted cannon are 6mm BB's cut in half with a short section of a toothpick glued to it.
The proud Harook squad accompanying the vehicle are from Mad Robot Miniatures.
Great conversion job there. I love the lightning-effect panels :)
ReplyDeleteA slightly over the top layered paint and ink job that was,including one layer which was with a sharpie liquid fluorescent highlighter pen and few layers of gloss varnish. I'm going to have to do it 4 more times now for the other tanks so I'm sort of wishing I did something simpler and maybe more reproducible.
DeleteWow - that's come out really well. I'm especially impressed by your bit of free hand lettering.
ReplyDeleteI need to get a base sorted out its balanced on a pile of 5 pence pieces in that photo.
DeleteNice. LOL @ Harook ideas of nuclear safety.
ReplyDeleteHow do you cut BB's in half? Or are they plastic BB's?
Plastic. Tried sanding half of them away at first but they kept rolling so in the end I cut them with a pair of shears.
