Sure you can- just cutoff the wheels of a dalek and glue them to the bottom
I have heard a lot of guys mention the "tanker action pose"- what exactly would you want?? I think of all the things that KC does "right", it's the tank crews and their actions. Truthfully, with the exception of the commander squeezing off some rounds off the top gun what else is there? In combat, those things are buttoned down TIGHT and if they aren't then the hatches are combat locked open and the crew is still taking refuge in the belly of the beast.
'Kapow' / 'Exterminate'
OK, I'll buy that
I think it would be great if the hatches were hinged so they could be displayed either open or closed, but I don't know how possible this is without ruining the aesthetics of the tank, or without making them vulnerable to damage in transit.
But, with what we've got, i.e. loads of open hatches, any dio / scene that we are trying to present as being remotely action like (and there are of course numerous figure sets to support this), leaves us with the dilema of having a tank crew fully exposed drinking coffee, reading maps etc, from their hartches, or leaving the tank figures out all together, but still having a tank rolling forward in to combat with hatches open.
If we had a generic set of tankers, who were 'cut off' a little lower, so that perhaps you might get just the head and tops of shoulders showing, the piece may blend in and match the figures surrounding it.
Fully appreciate what you say about the realities of being completely sealed in, but none of the relases we have at present accomodate this, without some major reworking with a 9" angle grinder
Hope that better explains what I meant.
Oh, and another .50 cal shooter as in the DD45 Sherman would be cool as well. Maybe resembling, oh, I don't know, Clint Eastwood? With an eccentric, bearded hippy tank commander in flying helmet?
