I will not be using the barrels though! <br /><br />As they are I reackon the Warhammer 40K fraternity could find a use for them.<br /><br />The radar dishes will be going to a new home - at least some of them will.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-14251860169982220872015-04-12T11:27:14.227+01:002015-04-12T11:27:14.227+01:00Some quality armour there sir!

Given the size of the gun barrels I would make them dual purpose - anti-tank and anti-personnel.<br /><br />I have one 'cartooned' tank in my Army of Kiivar with a similarly fat barrel. It actually shoots water (a water pistol). I've made it a close support tank, unmodified, with a powerful HE effect, but weak anti-tank.<br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-847995996226225022015-04-11T22:50:57.597+01:002015-04-11T22:50:57.597+01:00Hi Bob,

I will need to research 1930s tanks for inspiration but I have a few ideas to play around with. The wheels were an added bonus and I have sufficient to construct 8 artillery pieces so that will be another box ticked!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-35409013737689769962015-04-11T20:49:21.917+01:002015-04-11T20:49:21.917+01:00David,

It shouldn't be too difficult to replace the existing gun barrels with suitable plastic tubing.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.com
