I made a GHIBLI style HOBBIT TANK out of trash

[@philippeasselin2176]

This is easily the most well thought out tonk I've seen so far. I'm incredibly impressed.

[@AlacranMiniatures]

Haha thanks a lot! To be honest: all the different versions of turret and accessories exist because it was not planned before... the process actually was more like: What happens if I put this... or that, here?

[@Hand_of_NOD]

I like to imagine the Tall Turret has several ridiculously long ammo belts that pile up into boxes at the bottom.

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@Hand_of_NOD in my mind as an artillery observation tower its filled with different floors with things such as a radio, optics on the top like the rangefinder.... and it's not a bad idea what you say because you can clip a banana or sandwich to one of the bullet,s belt and cycle the machine gun till the sandwich gets to the top floor... as a kind of makeshift food elevator.

[@udorechner6846]

Simply awesome builds and wonderful looking results. .

[@AlacranMiniatures]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@brunokopte1347]

Cute engines of death! Reminded me of the 1890 Fahrpanzer mobile turrets, specially when pulled by horses. The stop-motion at the end was like a surprise dessert after a good dinner.

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@brunokopte1347 Wow that's a really good obscure thing, I knew about mobile turrets but not that one, with the carriage it looks a 1 by 1 inspiration haha. But to be honest the idea of this cylindrical turret was inspired by the miyazaki akuyaku tank wich has lots and lots of mini turrets wich look like that one. But yep it's surprising if I'm not wrong on the 1898 the spanish Battleships like the Vizcaya had perfectly semi spherical turrets(less cute thank the Fahrpanzer).... and some ironclads (chinese ones) of the 1890,s era also. And thanks! I'm glad you liked everything including the stopmo ;P

[@benmingle2615]

this is so fire, defiantly need to make a setting where I can use smt like this now. just for an excuse to make one.

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@benmingle2615 Haha thanks! Noice kind words! I will do more things such as vehicles, flying vehicles... maybe terrain also, But for now its just the hobbit Tonk. Regardless as a source of inspiration I use the worlds of Howls moving castle, and Laputa (castle in the sky), it has that weird ww1/fantasy/steampunk asthetic.

[@Lock_Knight]

Full points for the design, extra points for Dvorak on the intro.

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@Lock_KnightThanks a lot for the compliment! Dvorak 9th symphony, Verdi and mozart Dies Irae are the most metal things on classic music one can find besides Wagner, that's 2 things I don't understand: 1-Fixation of people saying: Classic music is boring. 2-Only cool classic composer is Wagner (wich I really like). One just can't listen to Dies irae, Dvorak 9th Symphony, or Götterdämmerung... without wanting to invade something so = NOT being boring

[@Westfalon]

These are so cute! I love the whimsical designs mixed with the strikingly realistic paint and weathering. The tall one especially looks really fun

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@Westfalon Haha yep! Thank you very much, that's the reason I choose the miyazaki kind of asthetics.... doesn't matter how unrealistic his things could be on reality, he always find a way to transmit that idea of whimsical/ real

[@deltastudioswastaken]

Wowzers, does that tank sure does look Kool!!! It reminds me of the Fisher-Price little people & the game D.O.R.F. RTS a little bit

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@deltastudioswastaken I didn't knew about that game but now I search for some pictures (looks cool!) And some of the tonks there look like late ww2 early cold war things, For example there is a really long tank like the French Char 2C Aaaaand an M 60 tank turret... It's interesting! To one of my friends this tank reminds him something obscure from metal slug :O

[@VinsxxBlitz]

[@AlacranMiniatures]

For sure! I was thinking now in some kind of smol goblin land/battleship thing..... But I need time to design that on the black void of my mind xD

​@@AlacranMiniatures make a amx 40 tonk it would be funny cause it looks like a duck

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@VinsxxBlitz its one of the cutest tanks ever but that's the ww2 amx 40 I guess, the more common Amx 40 its the one of the 60,s 70,s. But yep its a nice idea!

[@Cornelius-b2k]

Looks like a great versatile little model, very cool that you can swap out the turrets and weapons.

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@Cornelius-b2k Yep that's the idea! And also small enough that can be carried on a matchbox wich is easier to carry on buses, trains...

[@bannickartem7624]

What a Fever dream. I love it. One thing tho. Where's the bloody driver supposed to sit?

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@bannickartem7624 YEP THATS THE THING you notice what keeps me awake in the night. I suppose that the tank maybe due to complex gear shafts under the turret (manufactured by dwarves) can be pirated by just one dude inside the turret , wich on the other hand means that it has a terrible visibility for the driver (only the small gunner sight). The Scorpion in halo its only operated by one soldier, odst, marine or Spartan with a neural plug.... Soooo in this ww1/magic setting its due to: MAGIC GEARS And it's the only possible explanation I have.

They took the tanks that the hobbits used to defend their home and turned it into a device for furthering their evil

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@justsomeguy3983 That's actually a nice idea! I was thinking also in something disgusting and mechanical like some iterations of warmachines that the skaven use.... for example we have the Mantic games Ratmen wich have some kind of "weird tank" wich as model its expensive but transmits that idea well. Keeping in mind that my "orks or uruks " are a mix between the saruman ones and the locust horde, that has logic also, like for example: thr locust in GOW used captured Lancer rifles to create their own assault rifles wich are the Hammerburst and that thing hits harder than a pneumatic hammer, and look extremely agresive also.

[@Ollisaa6095]

what is the miniature you used 0:32?

[@AlacranMiniatures]

Oh ok that's a kitbash wich almost doesn't require any filler or putty, it's a mix of two wargamea atlantic kits: Wargames atlantic: Classic Fantasy Halflings (hobbits) And Wargames Atlantic: The great war kits... and I say kits because for this I used French infantry of ww2, you have german/Austro-Hungarian kit, imperial russian and British one. And due to the ww1 kits having a "realistic scale" than let's say gw scaling, the arms and heads fit perfectly with the halfling torsos. I bought years ago Blackstone fortress halflings " they're so cool" but they looked too big, so after much time of research I found out the wargamea atlantic ones where quite small and well proportioned for this conversions. BTW in between all the boxes: The halfling ones, let's say ww1 french infantry you have lots and lots of heads and helmets, that will allow you to make quit some lil dudes ;P

[@philippeasselin2176]

@@AlacranMiniatures How about the Pig head mini at the end?

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@philippeasselin2176 Hmm they are a bit difficult to find nowadays! They come from the Akuyaku 1 GO tank designed by hayao miyazaki and made model by "Asuka model" And you have two versions I get the Akuyaku 1 go "short barrel" that one comes with only one pig commander. The other version of the Akuyaku comes with a Pig crew including commander, and cooking pig out of 20.... 20 little soldier pigs I mean. And technically the pigs and the tank are at 1:72 scale, but the tank itself has roughly the same size of a macharius heavy tank or a ww2 heavy tank at 1/35 like a pershing or IS 2.

[@philippeasselin2176]

@@AlacranMiniatures Wow thanks fo rthe quick reply ! I'll try to find them but i have a feeling ill have to kitbash and sculpt myself little pig soldiers hahaha

[@AlacranMiniatures]

@@philippeasselin2176 sadly I have also the same feeling, nevertheless there are pigs "humanoid ones" for D&D wich can be kitbashed easily. If you want to kitbaah them I also recommend to search for the miyazaki book of: "Miyazaky Daydream notes" wich has like 3 pages dedicated only to the pigs and the tank, and they have a lot of detail, two of them are even using an AT gun.

And the small pig came with a (I guess now) difficult to find Akuyaku 1 Go... a super heavy miyazaki designed tank at 1/72 scale wich fits for haflings on 40k or other games.... snotlings or goblins such as a globe to a hand. The halflings are easier to get and the kitbash I would say.... Maybe someday I should 3d sculpt some piggies 🐷 but for now I have only 3d sculpted the things that i have on my cults 3d account....
