My Brother‑in‑Law Challenged Me to Build a Tonk in 7 Days… Here’s What Crawled Out of My Workshop

My brother‑in‑law threw down a challenge: build a brand‑new tonk in just seven days.

With a full‑time job, that meant seven evenings to design it, kitbash it, and paint it, no excuses. Luckily, I’ve been hoarding a box of odd parts and materials for years, and the time pressure actually pushed me into a really fun creative groove.The design ended up pulling inspiration from Arc Raiders, Battlestar Galactica Cylons, and a touch of Star Wars. The cloak definitely drifted more toward Little Red Riding Hood than Sith Lord, but honestly… I kind of love that energy, so I kept it.Bonus round:

When I finished, I still had the bug, so I immediately started a second build, this time sticking closer to a traditional tonk in both size and silhouette.

Some unexpected TONK your thoughts on the camo? The game spirit expects it to be wild.

Found in my parents' house the old Tiger kit by Zvezda from my youth. Could not kitbash it because of myercy and nostalgia. Will build more crazy opponent for him with a garage scratch.

Gundroid 6 of the New Confederation of Star China, and Günter Der Jäger, tank destroyer of the Brässwracks.

Gundroid 6 beat Günter Der Jäger in their first game with one hull point remaining!
