Norton74 Posted February 20 (edited) The Hedgehog A few weeks ago while I was watching Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, I spotted a large tank that caught my attention. From that I built this menacing 'bad boy' full of details and features and wrapped in a total dark gray color scheme. It's called The Hedgehog and the reason is quite obvious: dozens of dark tan claws guarantee maximum grip on all types of terrain. And the appearance resembles the small spiky mammal. The shape is deliberately awkward and a little cartoonish. I added details and features without ever going overboard. The upper part with the turret opens to expose a detailed little interior with such an assortment of armaments and equipment. Last but not least, the moustached commander looks like he came out of a WW II Panzer. Edited February 20 by Norton74 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rubblemaker Posted February 21 (edited) This is awesome! The parts usage for the turret gun is great and the chains are a great addition! I would not want to get run over by this thing. Not that being run over by a standard, non 'hedgehoggy' tank would be preferable... Edited February 21 by Rubblemaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magureanpaul Posted February 21 This looks amazing. I like the spikes on the tracks look very interesting. I presume this is a display piece since there aren't placed all around them. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it's a display model, it was impossible placing horns all around 😊 Thanks for stopping by 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pirate_King_1982 Posted February 23 (edited) Looks a tiny bit bit like a Leman Russ Battle Tank from Warhammer 40,000. Very nice build regardless. Edited February 23 by Pirate_King_1982 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
