The Jumbo Panzer IV

After long times of waiting... I have decided to make the Panzer IV! But not as small sized as the tanks before...this one is 2.5 times the normal size of the others... The gun uses a wirelock gun and wheels are kept together by metal wirings...

The Bison I... The proposed Edmond sandcastle destroyer...

One of the newest tank now... The Bison I! Due to its huge cannon (bubble tea straw!) I installed I am able to shoot a small marble ball around 3-5m... Note: the cannon within the tank can be removed and be used conventionally..
.

Revolution no.3! The Sherman Tank emerges...

Again metal wiring has helped me. I realised some tanks have wheels which is held below the tank chassis... So I used metal wirings to make bogeys for wheels, with surprising and satisfactory results, the tank wheels moved much better than last time!

The newest tank, and maybe the most notorious as a lighter... The Sherman Tank... This one's a Firefly version...

Revolution no. 2!

After long time of consideration, i realise that holding a chopstick and waiting to fire is not the way to go... So i had my chiseling set chisel a notch in the chopstick and used a U-shaped metal wiring to hold it in place until firing time...press on the metal wires... whoosh goes the chopstick...

The Panzer V Panther

I decided to build this tank after the first T-34 cuz this tank's sloped armour and overhung gun is copied from the tank... Note the overlapping roadwheels!

The T-34/76 & T-34/85

These 2 tanks have the same chassis, but the turrets are different and they both have different guns. The T-34/76 is the one with the green colouring and the T-34/85 is the one which is unpainted.
