Back around the holidays I made some 6mm sci-fi tanks. Here's a pic of the results:

You can make your own using the techniques detailed here on my blog.

Thanks for looking

Wow! Nice job, Pahoota!

A thought on the tracks -- a length of zip tie can make great 6mm tracks. Cut to length, soak in boiling water for a minute, then mold into desired shape and glue onto your model.

Impressive! and inspirational. The tanks look really good. The design is also a good looking mix of contemporary armor and far out SF designs. Thanks for posting!

Some great looking tanks, you should be proud.

Thanks for the encouragement all.

Javelin: Nice tip about the zip-ties. I'll store that in my bag of tricks.

Dave: here's another shot of the platoon, with this angle showing the tracks.

Someone may want to buy these models to mass produce them….

Excellent work! Nice to see the progress and the How To on the blog. Thanks

Very interesting way to create the models.

Pretty amazing, when I first saw them I was convinced they were from GZG's Future Wars range (which I really like).

Great job and How To!
