Heat and bubbles simultaneously.
OK with a diesel engine.  Not sure if it would be possible on an Abrams based camper tank...

Worked today on attaching the camper body to the tank.
Obviously I could just glue it on.
But no, that would be too easy.  I must make it demountable.

RSJs on the bottom of the camper body sit in the channels on the top of the tank.  As could equivalent fittings on the bottom of other payloads.
Does anyone make a 1/48 20' Shipping Container?

How about an 'O' gauge model railway one, that's almost the same scale?

LMAO - it'd make an excellent post-apocalypse thing too: re-militarised with improvised weapons and all the suusal anti-zombie mods.

Pity it's not based on a Tiger II with a rounded turret: then you could put a roof on the deck and call it a Porch Tiger... :wacko:

Hmmm bubbling diesel exhaust through the water would make it oily pretty quickly. Yuk!

Thanks for the tips on the 20' box.
Jeez model railway stuff is expensive.  I think if I need to have a second load i'll scratch something up.

I forgot to mention the T-72 came to me from a very nice man here in whiff world.
