Tom builds himself a sci-fi wonder for the 1940s battlefield - MiniArt''s new "ball" tank!

Goofy fun and an interesting change of pace from building far too many T-34s and KVs. Though how anyone thought that it could be successfully driven (rolled?) is slightly above my grade. I guess it's only slightly more absurd than July 45 theme kits. Like I said: goofy fun.

Looks a little "steam-punky", if it were steam-powered.

Thanks for the heads up about the headlight mount.

Oops! Forgot to tick the "supplied by MiniArt" box! Sorry, MiniArt - all fixed now.

It's a goofy concept weapon, but with the new Mortal Engines film out I could see a squadron of these escorting a swift-moving tracked City of Moscow across the scorched plains of Europe... (The books are real fun, in case you missed the whole Mortal Engines thing!)
