Planning to get Tanked up at Christmas?
Well..if a spot of serious imbibing is anticipated in the so-called festive season, what better present could you ask for than this £35 offering from The Tank Museum:
I expect someone could get to RC this 13.5in recycled steel novelty. Then it would be possible to transport the booze around the table with minimum participation from inebriated guests, and ditto, when placed on the floor for those already under the table...

It's advertised as a 'Black Friday' saving along with other sometimes bizarre gift ideas, such as Tank Museum chocolate (presumably bullet-proof ). Mind you, it could be a 'Blackdog' Friday if you quaffed the entire contents of the battling booze holder. I expect someone could get to RC this 13.5in recycled steel novelty.

Better still, in addition to the RC function, if that barrel could be adapted to dispense booze, or act as some sort of bottle opener...... it would be a real winner.c.rainford73 wrote:Now if one could order it I'm sure we can figure out how to rc it......

You have such a dirty mind. . . .c.rainford73 wrote:Yes.... recoil and splash
Could always make one out of an old 24th scale tank, or, convert an RC truck to pass the bottle along the table

How about something like a Nashorn where the neck of a bottle of bubbly is the gun barrel, and it has a mechanism to "pop" the cork. So much scope for a bottle carrier

It can serve as a recce tank at the battlefield, the enemy will be totally confused, they do not recognize the unusual high profile.

Or....it could be sent along to the enemy sentry box, or machine gun nest, to get the enemy guards completely pissed.
