cardboard box tank


We are going on holiday In June, and the
boys want to enter the fancy dress comp on the camp
They ahve spent all day playing insede a cardboard box
so we have come up with the idea of making a tank from boxes.

Have googled it and can't find any instructions /plans ofr any.

So looks like we going to have to plan it ourselves.

hoping this is a fairly original idea,
will be making it so both boys can stnad insde it.

these things always give merit for homeamde things and original ideas.,


was going to dress elliot up as a boy in a box and put an adress
lable on saying " to naughty boys home
do not return to sender" lol

hubby can get boxes that lawnmowers come in, think they should be big enough.

So get some supplies of green and blakc paint soon and a huge long cardboard tube for the gun funnel thingy.

*Great* idea! They'll have so much fun with it, whether the judges agree or not.

Re: cardboard box tank


That will be great. Try and get a 'flip-top' to the gun turret, so they can pop their heads through it, comedy style!
