    That is a challenge that non-cat owners may not comprehend. We have 4 cats. We rescue pure black cats. They too show great interest in my tanks, but when I run them they scatter faster than when we run the vacuum. One of them for some crazy reason has taken a liking to clawing and chewing on the clear plastic cellophane bags of bits, as well as hunting it out for his pleasures.

    Wouldn't it be nice if.......hmmm. Say, an M2 Bradley, plenty of bulldozer blades available, a Sturmtiger barrel, a little blue paint and some 3DP accessories. Ah, we can wish. it's not like it has to be "accurate"!

    This was my approximately 1/35 scale static model, made by Gamer's Workshop. Gone now, alas

The shrouds snap on and can be pried off if necessary.12 pair for $8, a LOT cheaper than our local hobby store. They are called XT60H. I checked, and they are completely interchangeable with the originals.

    Could use it to make a model of the cybertanks from the old Ogre game by Steve Jackson. Oh, and also of the tanks from a more recent sci-fi novel: Armored Tears by Mark Kalina.

    Use those as well, quite handy. I actually shoot some hot glue to seal off where the wires pass thru the grey/black push caps.
