    Air/Gas tanks

    Looking to tap into the wealth of knowledge of the Mego customs community.

    I need a single airtank to go on a custom's back and a single airtank to go on his chest (horizontally). Both will be on the same Mego 8" body.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Austin

    I have a couple empty N20 canisters that are about 2 1/2" tall from a co-worker. They are used for whipping cream or something. Look up cream whipper chargers. You can probably find them at kitchen stores. Would look good on the back, but might be a little big for the front.

      There are a number of "diver" action figures - GI-Joe maybe, and an AJ one that have a variety of dive tanks. Could you modify one those? TBolt is pretty creative when it come to stuff like this. Check with him.

          Got a Dremel and some patience? Shape a dowel, urethane the heck out of it, then paint it.
