Hi all, I built an German Elefant earlier this year, however never got around to finishing the painting. Anyhow, I went to retrieve it a few weeks back from the shelf, but butter fingers here droped it on the the floor. The damage was enough to destroy it, yet it is still relatively in one piece.

My question now is, does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do with this?or, how I could convert it into a damaged vehicle for a dio? and, any hints/tips on how I could do this?

Any help is appreciated,
thanks in advance...

Sorry I dont have any pics of the model, however I will try to get some over the weekend so that you can see them.
The main damage is to the barrel, it has been completely knocked loose. There as some other minor damages, such as the hatches have come off, along with other small things.
I will try to get some pics on here.
Thanks for the fast replies
