Scratchbuild Grav Tank (with guaranteed oral hygiene)
You'll be surprised how ordinary household items can turn into cheap, easy to make tabletop game pieces. In this case, the body of the grav tank is made from Listerine Mouthwash bottle(250ml), turret is a Oral B dental floss box, exhaust vents on the sides are shaver covers, searchlights are coffee-stirrers, the gun barrel a Ribena Black currant packet drink with a interesting build-in straw, the hatch is a part of the drinking spoon for medicine !! All these are held together with a hot-glue gun (very easy actually). The build-up can be as complex or as easy as you want, with spare bits, etc. It may be a bit crude but I believe someone can make a better one. I am gathering materials to build another real soon! Word of advice: Always prime spray as the plastics are what I like to call "oily-even-after- washing", so your paints will stick better later. Word of precaution: Hot-glue gun is VERY HOT, so do not attempt to even think you can wipe it away with you fingers. Blades cut, so cut away when removing unwanted plastics. Comments welcome, can't wait to see someone follow and post their grav-tanks! Meanwhile mine is rolling off to snipe some baddies!
