Zebraoutrider’s Astra Militarum Tank Rescue, Recovery, Repair, Repurpose and Recommissioning Workshop
The Bull joins the Ram with a nod to the Gothic past...
Friday night and time to finish off the construction of ‘The Bull’. The Dozer blade was again cut down and slotted on to the front with added armour plates inserted to cover the joins. On the underside, the original dozer blade was cannibalised to provide extra support to the lower dozer pistons. In addition, I ferreted around my bits box and found two old Imperial Manufactorum scenery street lights and by slicing off the base, rotating the lamp by 90• and adding a new cable, each tank could have a laser search light for night vision manoeuvres.
The Bull and The Ram... with gothic search lights. Below is a gallery of the work in progress to bring these two together, ready for the paint shop. Note that because I was simply copying the construction, time taken was no more than two hours. 
Costs to construct The Bull are the same as The Ram, i.e. £39.
The street lights are approximately £2 each second hand.
Total project cost so far: £82
Next up… painting scheme.
