I picked up a pack of cheap army men that came with two equally cheap tanks. These are the typical army men tanks based loosely on the M48 Patton Tank. I used to use these as Predator tanks for my Space Marine army way back during 2nd edition 40k.
We added a laser cannon made from a automatic pencil and a coaxial scatter laser from a Dark Eldar Heavy weapon. The armoured skirting and reactive plates are made from thin cardboard cut from a box of crackers and the hinges are made from spare sprue. We also plated up the bottom so it wasn't just a hollow cavity.
This is a pretty cheap attempt to make a "futuristic" tank. I think it will paint up well enough to suit our needs. We plan on using these as the MBT of the Titania Planetary Guard.

I have around 7 of these from my childhood and had planned on doing something similar with them, glad to see they turn out so well!
