The first pic is what the crew area on the anime tank looks like The kit did not come with an interior The front turret is armed with a primary cannon of 152mm aka God has spoken Secondary cannon is a 76mm

The rear turrets with the guns facing up are anti-aircraft lasers 😀 😛

The Warhammer Tank I bet is really cool. 😀

You know with the cool stuff available from art places like castable acrylic resins and glitter I bet you could make a cool laser gun for a tank.

😀 😀 😛

Warhammer 40K is a miniatures type war game It's set in the 41st milenium There are also paperback books on it as well I think the figures for the games are white metal The tanks are plastic

I've never worked with acrylic resins I wonder if they are easy to work with 😀 😛

These days there are number of different resins so I am sure there is something that it easy to use. A clear "glass like" gun would be perfect for laser turret if you could find a mold to cast it. 😀 😀 😛

I know RTV material makes a good mold for resin Some people can carve their own molds into parts they want That's talent there 😀 😛

Yea I always wanted to try that. I could do a lotta cool things with resins. I have worked with metal foils and stuff. Copper, Brass, Aluminum and such. 😀 😀 😛

Mainly Stellated Platonic solids like you see below in the widdle video clip. They look very starlike and I use to photograph them and import them into the computer for use in textures and 3d graphics. 😀 😀 😛
