Pimp My Tank - Tau Hammerhead

Post by Edimasta »

Hi guys, and welcome to a new episode of Pimp My Tank

As you all know, tanks are for fighting enemies and stuff like that, but they also have another side... much more beautiful and amazing than most of you out there can imagine.

And at this point there is me - E to the A Edimasta, and I am about to pimp your tank!

In this episode, we have this old 2001 Tau Hammerhead... a few years ago this thingy was hot, but now? Trash... so we decided to get this tank a new look.

So, at first we stripped it to the ground... and rebuilt it from ground up. At this point we had to decide - more power or better look?

And we did both - we installed not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 new hot ion-engines. Now thats what I call "more power *grunt grunt grunt*

With this new power comes exclusive lighting! We had to overwork the whole electronics... what a mess.

But after screwing all parts together, this tank now looks much better than before.

Still some things to do, and of course the most important thing - the color.

So dont miss it and stay tuned, we'll contine after some short spots...

Are you going to add more alectronic bits to this tank- maybe some servos to turn around the turret or something like this?

holy crap that's some amazing work m8 ! I would suggest not to make the tank too bright so it doesn't take too much attention away from those lights :)
