TANKS A LOT!

Hope you all are having a great weekend! I am off to help out at my daughter's Drum line competition.  I am working the candy gram table so it should be fun.  If you are interested in knowing what drum line is you can check it out HERE. This isn't my daughters group but last years.  If you can stand the noise it is pretty cool.

I thought SOLDIER IAN needed some transpo so made him a tank.
Click HERE for a PDF (yay, I think i figured it out, if not email me and I will send you a copy) of the pattern pieces.You will need to download the pic and then print yourself a copy.  I am absolutely, positively, NOT perfect so you may have to tweak it a bit to get it to work.  Meaning don't B**** if it isn't perfect LOL!
Here is how I put it together. Please READ the instructions there are a few points that aren't obvious from the pictures

Cut out the pieces shown out of patterned paper. The circle was punched with 1.5 inch circle punch.

The pieces were then glued to a piece of dark green card stock and I free hand cut around the edges leaving about an 1/8th of an inch of dk green border. This gives it some body and also gives a bit of shadow effect for the image.

Four, black, 1-1/4 inch circles and four dk green 1 inch circles were punched.

And assembled as shown using a brown brad in the center.

The wheels were attached to the base with pop dots to give a little dimension

For the base of the card a black piece of CS was folded in half.

The top of the tank was placed along the fold in the black cs.

I traced around the pattern piece and cut it out.

Attach the pattern pieces shown above first. The black card base should stick out around the pieces just a bit (again a little shadow effect) so don't worry if everything doesn't fit perfectly.

The top part  fits over the circular lid of the tank is placed flat against the black base. The bottom part had a double layer of pop dots along the top edge so that it fit on top of and clears the wheels.
And she is all ready to roll.... but don't forget to attach Soldier Ian!
