FLAME THROWING TANK DIO

RED · Post by **RED** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 1:28 pm

Hey y'all-- got my latest attempt at fire and 21stC!!

I got the ideal from AFERGUSON---So AFERGUSON I hope you enjoy the pics!!! All I did was remove the barrel and replace it with a rubber hose about 2ft. long and ran it though the tank.I had to drill a small hole in the bottom of the tanks floorboard ---I hooked up a WD40 can to the hose and covered the rest of the hose with dirt and fired it up!!!

Sorry I couldn't get a better pic.

It was hard trying to set a Jap cave on fire,take a pic,and not set myself on fire!!!

If any wants a few pics of the tank taken apart to see how I did this just let me know---Hope y'all like 'em---RED---

ha......that's pretty cool. You're alot braver than i ever was. How did you ignite the fuel coming out of the hose? I would have thought that a rubber hose would melt from the heat.

Very cool! How many figures (and tanks) did you happen to melt in the process?

Hey y'all ---Thanks alot

---AFERGUSON--- I had already had a small fire going and aimed the fuel to land on the fire so it would ignite!!! That was the only way I knew how to ignite the fuel!!! The rubber hose did pretty good---The fire stayed away just enough to keep from melting the end.

STEELBONNET-TMAN---No injuries(THANK GOD!)---No figs or tanks were melted!

The only fig that didn't make it was a STAR WARS fig (SAM L. JACKSON FIG) that I got in a box of junk for DIO parts. I put him into the cave and it turned out pretty bad for him!

You can see whats left of him on the ground to the right of the Marine in the last pic!!! Thanks again!!!---RED---

The comment "THATS HOT", seems appropriate here

Hey MEDIUMP----Thank you --glad you enjoyed the pics!!!

-- Sorry it took so long to post the pics of the MODS I did on the SHERMAN ---But here they are ---pretty easy to do!!! All I did was remove the barrel and replaced it with a rubber hose about 2 feet long, run the hose though the hole I cut into the tanks body, and cut a hole into the floorboard of the tank!!!

I put the WD40 RED STRAW into the end of the hose and sprayed !!! I had a small fire going before hand and had to aim the WD40 fuel to land on the fire to ignite!!!

The only problems were it all happend very fast and was hard to take a pic and the end of the rubber hose was bigger than the WD40 red straw-- so sometimes there wasn't the right amount of air pressure which inturn wouldn't push the fuel out and far ( somethimes the fuel sputtered comeing out)BUT ---I think I know how to get it right next time!!!

Thanks again ---RED---

RED,

That Tank is sooo sick. You can napalm Fire Ants and other vermin now!!! My remote controlled 1/24th scale M1A2 Abrams that shoots 6mm projectiles has NOTHING on your "Hell on Wheels" hehe... That kicks ass!!! And yes, pretty ballsy.

FIRE...FIRE..FIRE!!!!
