Today, for Show and Tell, an American tradition, which, as a citizen of the UK, I have never been a part of or witnessed anywhere except in a billion US sitcoms, I present for you:

THE TAUROX: THE SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD.

For my first trick, to the sound of glorious scat...

Hmm. These tracks are too wide for a 60mm base.

*frenzied scratchbuilding*

TAA-DAA!

That's right: QUAD DAMAGE!

Also, magnetised!

Size comparison!

And that's why I like Taurox.

Yep, that's some clever conversion work! They look good.

First time I've seen someone say "glorious scat"...lol

Nice conversions by the way.

Great work mate! That's a very clever use of the tracks. Forgive my ignorance; what is the original artillery it is being compared to in that final shot?

A rapier.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm planning on fielding 2-3 FW rapier laser batteries but they are very expensive so I'm glad I saw this on facebook. Fantastic Idea :D

Maybe you could include a step-by-step on how you made those bolters?

Oh! And sales of Taurox triple overnight! Very clever mate. Very clever indeed!

Had I not liked the tracks on the taurox I would have done it too ;)

Sweet conversion and plasticard fu is strong with you ;) congrats on a now widely copied idea LOL

Very cool, though I'm kinda left thinking if you can do that with plasticard, you could probably have scratch built the whole thing anyway without the Taurox ;)

Nice one, you've found a brilliant use for the front tracks that no-one will use (and occasionally the rear ones if they don't like half-tracks). Hats off sir.

i wonder if the tracks could also be used to make some bada$$ A.M. praetorians.
