In the art show "Biennale di Venezia" opening next June there will be an artistic use of a tank palced at the antrance of the United States pavillon. See it at

I am not sure but it seems a Centurion. In any case may be an idea for an use of GHQ models as small artistic present.

What a waste of a Centurion...proof that most artists should be kept the hell away from AFVs.

I wonder if an NEA grant was involved?

rather bizzare. . . .

Even more bizarre if you consider that the structure on top (bottom?) of the tank is a treadmill on which a USA Track & Field athlete in uniform will run for about 45 minutes at a time.

The gamer in me says "great tank".

The artist in me says "cool!"

Gosh, seems that it struck a mine...

If you google 'pink tank', you'll find some more 'artistic' pictures.
