This is the Mantic Veer Myn Tunneler I received a short time back from the 2015 Kickstarter, don’t get me started…
Anyway, I will be using this as a Steam Wars Mechanica Tunneler, primarily as a troop transport.
There was the opportunity to make the nose removable so weapons could be added. I added a plate in the nose ring so if no weapons are added, the interior would be hidden behind the plastic card.
So with a weapon added, I could even use this little beastie as a tank for the Mechanic force, something they are lacking at the moment.
To start with, I was not sure which way round to mount the three massive drill bits but then found the image above online which suggests they go on like this:
…and not like this:
Yeah, that second shot was a mistaken assembly by one of the Mantic guys. The drills should all be facing inward to form a (sort of) point in the front middle when “closed”.
Keep updating on this. I’m intrigued to see what you do with it, especially with the magnetised parts. (I got a few in case I do Squats one day!)
I will be going with the inward facing drill option. Just when I get a chance to undercoat now there is more moisture in the air, remains to be seen…
I’ll be following with interest. 👍
“in case I do Squats one day!”
Does that mean you have some classic squats?
