Intro: How to Build a Tank With a Cardboard Box

I am going to show you the steps of how I made my own tank out of a cardboard box, I made it for my little kitten, who can sit inside of it! 

Here's a video I made with this cardboard tank!! 


STEP 1: Materials

Materials you will need:

- A big cardboard box ( depending on the size you want the tank to be)
- Scissors
- Glue

Optional:

- Epoxy glue
- Pocket knife

STEP 2: Cut the Parts and Building It!

Depending on the size, you are going to have to cut it to the size you want!
Here are some of the pictures I have of the shapes I cut and the steps to make it!

I built the tank nozzle (sorry not sure what it's called) in a triangular shape.

STEP 3: Finished Tank!

Here are the pictures of my finished tank for my kitten!

Please vote for it in the Toy Challenge 2 & Holiday Gift Challenge & Shop Bot Challenge!!! (if you want) :)
Thanks!

Is there a pattern, anywhere, that can be printed?
If not, I may make this and create one.

Yes but i have been wanting to find out how to make bigger copies but i don't think a Regular Home printer will do, you could only change to paper thickness, but you can take that pattern and use cardboard and glue ur copies on top, Here is a few sites

My son and I LOVED this. It inspired us to do our own thing, not as awesome as yours,but still fun. Thank you.

Paint a kind of Tabby tiger print on it wth the kitten and make a copy of a King Tiger tank and it would all make sense [not to mention be very cute! ;)]
