The tank traps are two piece, and slot together. They turned out pretty good...I now have 27 of them, :P

Seeing as I was on a roll, and already had oil drums printed, I decided to complete the setting and am in the process of creating a fenced off fuel dump, which will have a camo net over it. I am trying to make it tank proof, using superglue and plastic weld to hold the fence together...it will probably last ooooohhhhh....3 minutes?? :haha:

Andy

Will this sort of thing be ok for you to stick your trees into? If I have time I will try and make some different shapes using cardboard moulds...it's not easy stuff to sculpt when I am just shooting straight out of the can! It either ends up looking like a Christmas Pudding, or something rather worse...but they will look better with trees stuck all over them.

Cheers

Rob

Just to say that we had an excellent time at the IPMS show. The organisers not only provided a large area and put down judo mats for us to run the tanks on, we had trestles and ample chairs as well. Cones were provided around the perimeter. All that we had to do was set up out scenery and tape off the battlefield. The request was that we run tanks without sound, except for a 15 minute battle with sound on the hour, every hour.

It all worked out really well, amazingly, even though we all wandered off to shop and explore we were always back for the hourly battles.

The show was larger than I was expecting, it filled several large sports halls, and some of the displays were truly exceptional.

Anyhow, many thanks to all those that attended, those that stopped by to chat, and to the IPMS, who must have put in a tremendous amount of effort to pull off an event like this.

A picture speaks a thousand words...
