Death From Above

 With a ton of parts left over from the tank project, I decided to see what else I could come up with.  In one of the Final Faction accessory packs there is something that looks like a drone.  After 10 minutes of searching the internet, I found this picture.  It is a Chinese attack drone called a Blowfish.  With it in mind, I set out to see if I could mimic it.

I modified a machine gun from the Heavy Weapons accessory pack and removed the night vision goggles from the helmet in the Covert Ops. pack.  I cut down part of an old plastic hair curler for landing gear.  I found a plastic cap to cover the top.  I made some rocket launcher tubes.  I glued everything together and when I was done I had one very cool attack drone.

I painted it a light gray so that it would blend in better when in the sky and gave it a matte clear coat.  I ordered some clear plastic stands on eBay to mount it on.  For some reason, it reminds me of a mosquito.  I call it a DT-250 AD.  It stands for Dollar Tree, a little over 2 bucks, attack drone.  I plan to have four of them when all is said and done.  Check out the pictures below.

Today is the 20th Anniversary of 9/11.  Let us not forget all the lives lost that day.

Sci Fi Tank on the Cheap

 I found a pretty cool looking U.S. Abrams style tank at the Dollar Tree.  I started to wonder what could I do to modify it into something more futuristic that I could use in WH40K, Weird War, or other Sci Fi  battles.  

The answer to my question was also in the Dollar Tree.  The had some action figures that had separate sets of accessories that they also sold.  I could use these to turn the tank into something a little more menacing for the dark wars of tomorrow.

A can of gray primer/paint, a tube of Super Glue, a few odds and ends from the workbench, and some leftovers from the bits box and presto:  One Amazing Futuristic Battle Tank.

I called it a Kriegshund (War Dog or Hound of War).  It's a lightly armored, heavily weaponized, and
highly mobile tank.  It has 1 main battle cannon, 1 assault cannon mounted on the right side of the turret, one set of twin missile launchers mounted to the left side of the turret, and 3 twin assault guns ( 1 on top and 1 on each side of the main body).  This canine has both bark and bite. I plan on making 2 more so I have a complete litter.  Check out the pics below.  I hope you like my new puppy!
