DAD Tankbuster Round

Hi guys,

I got bored at dinner time, so with an hour to spend I thought I'd knock out a little project. A couple of din dins later and this was the result.

Not alot of people even know of this little jobbie's existance, but apparently there's a deleted scene where the tankbuster in DAD is seen being loaded by col. moon.

After a bit of asking and a study of a photo of the original, I came up with a blueprint which was verified by someone for me. Put simply, its as accurate as I'll ever get without having the original to hand.

Big thanks to DB for the info and assistance.

Hope you guys like it, especially the little twist I did with the base.

Cheers,

MG -{

    VERY creative...the base really gives it a different dimension. You continue to astound me!

    thanks dave, i thought i'd try and be a bit more creative and do something I'd hadn't tried before with the base, plus it puts the item into context as many casual observers (them lesser human 'non-bondfan' types) might not intantly recognise it as a genuine bond prop.
