Here they are, the new model David Drake's Hammers Slammers Blower Tanks by Ainsty Castings. I took this photo of the tanks rolling hot at a demo game display at Salute 2013.
The display was fabulous and on an incredible scale. This is a long shot down the table.
Two of the unsung heroes of the Slammer game. On the left is Andrew of Pireme who publishes the rules. On the right, Roger was lagely instrumental in creating the display.

Ainsty had a stand at Salute. They had been working 15 hours a day casting the new blower tanks and combat cars. The former can be had for £30 for a box of four and the latter £25. Click on the link above.
