Tank - timber frame (off cuts), plastic cover (from warehouse skip), gun (reclaimed drainpipe), straps (hessian sack). Collaborative creation of supporters!
Tank available to other amnesty groups - ask us - secretary.web08@amnestyleeds.org

I love the tank so much! Maybe you should lend it to other activists so they can stage their own demo, or post a video tutorial of how it was made!

KASH's thoughts:

20 years on, Leeds remembered Tiananmen Square with a tank and a poem. 20 supporters for 20 years, each placed a rose (a symbol of the Tiananmen Mothers) into the turret of the tank.
