Thumper

[Thomas brookes]

This is my 1/16th scale radio control tank. It is possibly the best toy ever ever made. It makes engine noises start up,ticking over and on the throttle.

It has full remote turret movement and cannon yaw contol and smokes out of the exhausts.

It also fires ball bearings out of the cannon with recoil and noise.

Great for terrorising the cats.

Loving how the DOF and PP makes it look more like the full sized version

That's one hell of a toy - just had Meccano in my day

 

[Brian Moore]

That thing's amazing looking. It does look like the real thing. Would love to see/hear it in action. Nice shot, Tom.

 

[Pete Askew]

Another excellent shot Tom. Great scale and DoF. Doesn't the D7000 do video?!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Will have to get my Pz.Kpfw.III charged up and ready for a dual

 

[Pete Askew]

Now that would have to be a video. With full sound!

 

[Thomas brookes]

Let's do it!!!!!!!

 

[Thomas brookes]

[Thomas brookes]

[Kev Pugh]

Heng Long 1/16th, my wallet couldn't stretch to Tamiya

 

[Kev Pugh]

Fresh out of the can, well slipped off the Card, doesn't have the same ring to it does it?

Shot with X10 at varying ISO from 1600 to 12800 for real grainy effect, slight pp in PS just to finish.
