Ok so step one in fulfilling my September vows. I have primed the Warboss and gathered materials. Not shown are V8 can I plan on using to make a Storage Tank to put on the diorama and the electrical components for the red led warning light I plan on placing on top of the Storage tank. The brass rod is going to be used in making the cradle for the tank. I will need some more but it is a start. Wish me luck and I hope to post updates at least weekly. After all I work from 6am to about 7 or 8 pm Monday through Friday.

Good luck will love to see how this goes

Thanks. I have hit a major set back already. I am dumbfounded on how to cut the can open with out ruining it. I have ruined 2 already one with a hobby saw and one with a hack saw. I want to hide the circuit in side the tank and be able to open it to replace the battery. The switch will be on the out side of the can. on the back of the diorama.

So i trimmed one of the ruined cans and a hole for the switch and a hole on top to put the pipe that will hold the red LED.

Small update after a lot of trouble I have a make shift storage tank that can be opened and is big enough for me to hide the circuit. Also place the rod that will serve as the warning light stand.

Ok so long time no post but I have been busy. My wife and I have been trying to adopt and it is time consuming. But, got some hours to work today and I will post the progress. In retrospect should have taken step by step pictures but here is where we stand. Hope y'all like it.
