impress those 60+cm bullies .... ;-)
Posted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 9:31 pmthis post is done in fun ... the pics are real, as are the models ... but the little narrative is for FUN only
... are you tired of being pushed around and tormented by those 60+cm bullies
... are you tired of them snickering at you when you draw your 1/6 scale sword, pistol, or rifle
... are you tired of every dog who sees you thinking you are going to be his next chew toy
well ..... show them you can get serious
if your personal weapons dont impress them .... GO BIG ! ! ! !
first up from a personal rifle or machine gun .... (and for those on a limited budget) ... is a quad 20mm anti-aircraft gun mount ... (the gun barrels can be lowered enough to nail those pesky dogs)
if the quad 20's dont stop them ... (and still available on a limited budget) ... is a 37mm anti-tank gun
the above two weapon systems can be purchased here http://www.badcattoys.com/16scmiacfi.html#top
now ... for the bigger dogs ... rottweilers, dobermans, german shepherds and such .... or those pesky 70+cm vampires that can change into bat form and come at you from on high
... get your friends to hop in your Prime Mover, hook up the 88mm anti-aircraft gun and go dog hunting
... the barrel has 360 traverse and can fire at ground targets as well as anything in the air
the company no longer makes these specific models, though they do make other 1/6 scale tanks http://www.armortek.co.uk/index.html
the 88mm anti-aircraft gun has only one major problem ... it takes a full crew and plenty of time to unhook it and set it up so that it is ready to fire ... and then more time to break it down and rig it for road transport again
that's ok if you have a safe position to operate from
now ... if you dont have a secure position to operate from ... or you need to shoot and scoot in a hurry so that the neighbors dont see who is taking out the local dogs, annoying kids, and any really annoying vampires ... you need mobility!
so you take that 88mm anti-aircraft gun ... and wrap a tank around it
and you have a King Tiger
now ... to be honest, the 88mm might not be enough to stop some dogs ... larger kids ... and the really powerful ancient vampires
that's ok ... you can get even MORE serious
with your very own Jagdtiger ... it carries a 128mm gun ..... (the originals had bigger guns and weighed more tham the modern American M1A2 Abrams tank)
in either of the above two tanks you can rest easy knowing that even though you cant fire at flying targets .... no vampire has EVER beaten a tank in single combat .... (this applies to werewolves also)
now ......... for those of you who REALLY want the neighborhood to tremble in fear of you
... if you want to take out the neighbors dog, the dog house he is in ... and the garage it is next to
... if you want to take out that nasty ancient vampire AND his castle ... in one shot
... if you want to take out all the kids on the porch down the street AND most of the house the porch is attached to
you need to get TOTALLY serious
you need your very own Sturmtiger with a 380mm (15") main gun
... it can only fire a few times an hour ... but who cares when you can wreak that much destruction with just one shot
the above lethal 1/4 scale "Tiger" series tanks are available from this fine retailer http://www.mark-1-tank.co.uk/index.html
