HANKA Robotics - T08A2 Assault Tank (Ghost in the Shell 1995)

This is my take on the HANKA Robotics Spider Tank from Ghost In The Shell. I included 2 heads - 1) the original 1995 anime version with horizontal slit eyes and 2) the 2017 version which has 3 dot eyes (not screen accurate - 2017 version has a different back body).

For the joints, I was recommended to use heat shrink tubing around the clips. Insert the ball and then shrink the tubing around the clips. This way, the joints will stay firm for a long time.

The body was meant to be joined by rare earth magnets and a metal strip so you could pose it. However, CA glue should do.

Most if not all FDM machines will not be able to print the barrels of the minigun well. I plan on DLP printing these parts. There will be an updated with improved leg toes and minigun just for FDM.

Known Fixes:
1 - Heads need gun position holes - Added 7.17.18
2 - Toes on legs need to be adjusted so it sits properly - Added 7.17.18
3 - Minigun redesign for FDM printing - Added 7.21.18
4 - Remeshed body and head - Added 7.21.18
