Eldar Cobra - First Try - Scratch Build

So this is my first try at a scratch built Eldar cobra tank. This project has made me realize that i need to get a hot wire foam cutter.

Ok I can recognize some sort of a toy gun sight or PVC pipes and a golf ball on one end but I'm not sure what is on the other end.

A big x-mas tree light perhaps but that might be too prone to shatter so I don't know.

Looks like a good start! Hot-wire foam cutters are pretty cheap too!

Just need to add about 5 more pieces of foam card panels and that part should be done. The Pulse laser is a stand in until I can find a lance.

Wow... scale shots really put that into perspective.

Very nice work.
