A blast from the past, back in the hallowed days of 1990 and I was just starting to play 40k. Rogue Trader was the king of the battlefield and few people had vehicles. But in the book was a picture that inspired many players to imagine what you could do with what you had.
And the famous Deodorant can hover tank came to be. It inspired many including myself. At the time the nearest gaming shop was almost two hours drive away and not well stocked with Warhammer kits, but I wanted a tank, not a rhino but a real tank.
My version of the deodorant can tank. I found it recently while looking for some other old models and decided to fix it back up. One of the fins, a bolter, the sensor dish and a couple other bits were broken off. After having to cut a tube to replace one bit and some careful regluing, it was rebuilt. It had taken a few bad knocks and needed some paint touch ups, so i broke out the codex grey and went to work. A little too quickly. The new codex grey is much darker than 22 year old codex grey and it looked bad. So I spent a while mixing colors to get closer to the old shade but instead ended up repainting most of the tank. I still might go back abd do some retouching to the paint job but It was good enough for the table.
Coming soon the Hover tank rides to Glory after a twenty year hiatus.
