Hey I'm glad to see someone else gets like I do. Thanks for the pic Barry. I love what you have done. Love the new paint and the weathering is well thought out, looks like a tank for a cold environment. The only thing I would adjust is the front lower gun that is pointing at the ground. The problem is the hull is rounded so you need a small bead or piece of plastic, whatever you have, to keep the gun level. No big deal but that would make that one piece look better. Great job buddy.

You actually make those droids look like they could kick butt. This is not your average Clanker group. Sometimes I wonder why they haven't explored some seasoned Clone Wars battle droids we could get to like. Heck,  if clone troopers can go back, why not some clankers go decent? I could see this unit backing up Waxer and Boil and be part of the good guys.

Thanks so much, Tamer and LE. Heck, I'm too excited to wait, lol.

Here's another pic.



Thanks so much.
Barry, that tank and droid crew are rocking the house! I love the paint apps!

Thanks, LE. The  gun raises to about 45 degrees, but was in the down position when I snapped the pic.  Here's another, with a couple of the guns turned.



Thanks again. I really appreciate everything.


Thanks, Tamer. It would be cool if they could give a few clankers a recurring part, so that we kinda get to know em.

Thanks so much, Clint.

OK sweet. That does look great Barry. Nice job with the rusty areas, like I said the weathering is just right.

Thanks so much.

AWESOME! I love the clanker tank! I think it doesn't get enough play =) Great job on the paint apps and the look and feel. Can't wait to see it in natural light outside with some clones to crush :P

Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?

Very nicely done R1BB1T.
Great looking tank and crew, even if they are "clankers"

Thanks alot, StenHunter. I really appreciate it. I was hoping to take some outside pix today, but it is waaay too cloudy, with some impending heavy rain.
Thanks again, buddy.

Thanks, Michael. I'm glad that you like it.

Thanks so much, Jules. I'd give anything if  it looked anything like your amazing Falcon.
Thanks again, mate.

Thanks, Dana. Iwanted to do something different, and I rarely see anyone doing droids, so...
Thanks again.

Thanks, Jay. It's very possible that's where that piece came from. Honestly, I just grabbed something from my fodder box that I thought would go well with the tank.
Thanks again, mate.


Thanks again to everyone, and thanks so much for the front page treatment.
I really love this site.

looking at your tank again barry I noticed that it has an enlarged top gun mount? what did you use to make the new cannon?
