The original deodorant grav tank

[Scalene]

I don't have a facebook account, so for those others of you who might have missed this so far, look, Rick Priestly has posted a picture of the original grav tank made from deodorant! I'm guessing here, because I don't have it in front of me, but I think it was WD96. When I saw this, I immediately had to make my own version out of a shampoo bottle and some Zoid parts, then paint it black with yellow lines on it. Happy days. Somewhere I think I still have a photo of my version sitting in a heap of builder's sand surrounded by Mk6 plastic marines.

Thanks for posting brings back some happy memories of hoarding essentially rubbish.

The domed cockpit bit is a plastic spoon with the handle taken off isn't it?

Recently, my girlfriend bought some deoderant sticks like these. I've stolen them of course and they're now in a box in my loft waiting to be converted into some grav tanks... I'm thinking of using them as 'police cars' for some Judoon minis I have in my mashup games I call 'Rogue Trooper versus the Daleks'.
