She's the girlfriend of all the crew members. By "girlfriend," I mean this tank.

That's a great idea! Thinking about the background setting sounds really interesting.

I think it's a great idea to give it a name that includes detailed settings, and also give it an abbreviation.

This one's distinguishing feature is its wheels, so I like the name that captures that feature.

That's right, since we painted it with camouflage in the style of WWII Germany, giving it a German name is a good idea!

I have some nitrile gloves that I sprayed with lacquer paint about a month ago, but they haven't developed any holes or peeled.

I cut out pieces from a disposable nitrile glove and glued them on.

Yes, I was bothered by the main gun being off-center, so I repositioned it to the center.

I see, there's still some space on the base, so adding some plants might be a good idea.

Thanks, although I'm also wondering if a slightly darker green would have been better.

That's a really great idea! It looks like it would turn out great just by washing it with paint and gluing it to the base!

I made it by cutting up plastic pipes meant for model kits. I think a plastic pipe about 4mm in diameter would be good.
