Dr. Hank Pym - T-34 Russian Tank Keychain Build - Ant-Man

Some more captures of the actual prop.

Right, it looks like the kind of keychain than used to come in rock polishing kits. I had one when I was a kid. I bought a 24 pack of them

Where did you pick up those keychains? You wanna sell some of that 24?

Yeah I can send you some, but I did notice that the slinky chain piece is a lot shorter on the ones I purchased vs the hero prop. I plan to keep looking for something more accurate but if you want some of these just PM me.

Look how small 1/144 scale is. Gonna be working on this.

I just saw the movie (great fun, btw, and TWO stinger scenes at the end...); the 'tank' thing sort of 'broke the movie logic' of reducing the space between the atoms with the resulting object still having the original mass. I don't know about you, but I don't think I could carry several tons in my pocket without it ripping off my leg... but that premise was treated very loosely throughout (ants are strong, but pretty sure they couldn't carry a pound or two of C4 'mass' on one ant's back - just for example.)

Still, I really enjoyed the film, those points aside. Its called 'suspension of disbelief for a reason!

Yes there is a problem with the density premise, if you think an ant carrying a few pounds of C4 is a stretch how on earth did the flying ants carry a 160lb man on their backs. Clearly the super strength aspect whilst shrunk has nothing to do with density and is a result of some other bi-product of the Pym Particles.

Daniel Nelms when you get this done, do you think you'll do a run??

I guess if there is interest in it, right now I'm still trying to source the correct keychain. Once the Blu-ray comes out it'll be easier.

Any update on this?

No updates?

 

[Daniel Nelms]

MiamiLoco Not yet, I'm waiting for the bluray so that I can get a better look at the keychain part itself.

I have attached a couple of photos of my effort to re-create this. The tank is an all metal 1/100 scale T34/85 painted in Russian green with the appropriate decals. Hope you like them

 

[Daniel Nelms]

I'm lovin' it!

I am having a hard time with the decals what did you use?

Thank you. I got the decals from eBay here;

I think I am going to change the barrels though for some thin brass tube for added detail and strength!

 

[Daniel Nelms]

Thanks I just ordered the decals. One thing I really don't like is the keychain part itself. I know these came in rock polsihing kits back in the 1980s and I seem to remember them being higher quality than the ones I have been able to find so far.

Yeah, I know what you mean, the chain part is OK but the key ring part is thinner and more flimsy than I remember them to be. If I find any really nice ones I will let you know.

Just waiting on James now

I got the blu-ray recently and the digital copy code comes with an offer for a $10 "movie prop replica" tank keychain. I wonder how screen accurate that item is going to be. Ships in 6-8 weeks.

Typical, US, Puerto Rico and Canada only, but for $9.99 I would not expect too much but would be interested to see it. As I am in the UK it is a good job I made my own!
