Bonaparte Police Mini-Tank |
|
Scale: 1/48 This is a soft-vinyl kit of the Bonaparte Police Mini-Tank, as used in Shirow Masamune's manga, "Dominion." This particular version (the wheeled propulsion system) was featured in the "Phantom of the Audience" storyline, and has never appeared in any of the Dominion OAVs. I added several improvements to the basic kit. The rearview mirror is made out of brass and sheet styrene, and the Vulcan "stinger" is a resin casting of something out of my spares box. As the final touch, I mounted a flashing LED system, complete with battery, inside the tank. The kit was painted with Tamiya and Liquitex acrylics. Image: Top view Image: Front view |
