A few weeks ago while searching for some spare parts I had a crazy idea.
Last week while getting stuff out of my apartment, I found half a tank.
Why not use that half tank with a bunch os stuff from the spare box ?
See here it goes:
I took the turret out of this
And so far I got this:

It was my attempt to build a camo net out of bandages (mix of white glue, bandage,tea leaves and various shades of green).
So far I used a stug boxed turret, a Leo's rear basket,TigerI/Leopard 's cupola.
Still wondering about a home.made missile launcher, winter camo.. what kind of gun to add.. maybe a protection cage...
I will only use stuff from my spares so it's gonna be a fun challange !!
Thanks for looking Gary !!

John,
you see that many of the models that are made for the "fantasy" category are built using pieces from the various "banks of pieces."
A good friend of mine builds fantasy masterpieces. For that we give him all the pieces who advancing by our kits, and then he applies these on its works.
In our website and its, look what you can accomplish, starting first from a standard kit "fantasy", and then elaborating it with imagination.
Here are a links to the gallery of the site we use to expose our models in the category of "fantasy", and down its.
You can easily recognize doors, visors, engine parts, wings and other parts from various kits.
Good luck and ... have fun!

Grazie Gianfranco,
I will check those links for some ideas maybe, I started this project because I had 3 boxes of spare parts and needed to do something with them...

Well Gary since the hull is from a Stridsvagn 122 (Similar to the Leo2) and the turret is mainly a Stug on steroids, I'm still wondering if it's going to be a futuristic WWII/What If or work it as a modern tank.
It depends on the decals I have too..
