The 'Indy tank'.

More models finished for the -ROCKETMAN III- games; the heavy tank and a guard tower. The tank is an unusual model that I received as a sort of special offer from a kind friend on the Wargames on the Web forum and if its familiar then this is because it is a Disney kids toy of the tank used in the film 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' thats been painted and converted slightly. In real life the tank in the film was also a replica, a fake, based on an International Mark IV, known in the USA as a 'Liberty tank' and given a turret.
Beside the model is the bad guy, Korsakov, in his armoured suit, to give some idea of the size and scale of the model. Here is another comparison. The guard tower is made of kebab skewers and various scraps of wood and painted with guache paint (gives a nice matt finish).
In the mean while I've also drawn up a couple of maps for chapters 3 & 4. Though these are for the players, I've drawn them in such a manner that they can be easily understood by people who have no idea what the game is about.
