I wasn’t really satisfied with this solution. The coming of the panel 3x3x6
corner in white in the #7635 set brings a new solution.
8 of them make a really nice tank.

Nicly done, and good proportions in relation to the tank.
If I spot correctly the trick of the inside structure is 2x part #60474 Plate
Round 4 x 4 with Pin Hole, that are placed back to back, joined by an axle and
2x part #3713 Technic Bush. The cutouts on one of the rims of the Technic Bush
fit between the studs of the plate and prevent these from turning.

The inside structure is enough strong (but probably not for a kid).

I might have a suggestion to improve this a bit. I think it’s possible to
strenghen the inside structure by using a longer axle, 2x part
#3709b Technic, Plate 2 x 4 with 3 Holes
instead of the plain 2 x 4 ones, and by replacing some of the Bricks 2 x 2 with
parts #6232 Brick 2 x 2 with Pin and
Axlehole
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

| Hello, The difficulty with the minifig-sized tank trucks is to get a 6-wide tank. One of the solutions is to use 6x6 round dishes ( (URL) for instance, like Pierre Normandin did> ) I wasn't really satisfied with this solution. The coming of the (...)
