hey guys, i have this really old HL non-s+s tank thats completely dead and destroyed, so was wondering is i could run a HL smoker (for cost effectiveness) off a battery or something direct without going through a board? its so the smoker which ill probably break into to make give out more smoke can puff away inside and smoke bellow out of the gaps so it can be sat in the middle of the battelfeild smakoing away!!

cheers, ideas welcome,

Matt

certainly why not would make a good diorama piece make it like a wreck the smoker should work but why not try a ripmax smoker they are only £9 I know more money but you get a hell of a lot more smoke from them and would probably last longer ;) ;D ;D ;D

no camo, just going to re-paint it flat grey one day,  ill just use a spay can for that, it'll do the trick,

any advice on the damage effect ???

cheers,

Matt

p.s. the camera is good, its an 8 or 9 mega pixel job, just the de-sizing the pics and the lighting made it not show up :(
