Once upon a time I made a gas tank for gaming.
But it was lonely. :'( Then one day I noticed the gas tanks at my local gas station.
Hmmmmmmmmm, maybe the little tank doesn't have to be lonely. 1-buy and eat chips
2-cover empty can in tape to simulate steel plates
3-add wire for ladder rungs and may be some nurnies for interest
4-paint and play
Now my tank is happy in a tank farm!
I'm on top of the world Ma!
Enjoy |

Nice! Well, except for having to dispose of all the Pringles. (Doc's after me to lose weight something fierce, so no more Pringles for this Lion). |

I like the use of tape to give the tube some texture! |

They look fantastic. If I could offer one suggestion for your next batch – paint chips! It's fairly easy to do realistic-looking peeling and chipped paint with hair spray (my choice) or coarse salt or any number of other methods. |

Now add some flexible straws (pipe/tubing) and some additional wire railings, and then you've got something. Don't forget about the low retaining wall around the whole tank farm to contain any leaks. |

'Don't forget about the low retaining wall around the whole tank farm to contain any leaks.' It had to happen – dangerous goods regulators have finally caught up with wargaming! You made me laugh. PS: Great tanks – I'm off for some Pringles. I agree the tape is an excellent idea. |
