TANK GIRL (1988 - Present)

Tank Girl debuted in 1988 in "Deadline" magazine, created by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett. Set in a water-scarce, post-apocalyptic world, Tank Girl, aka Rebecca Buck, navigates chaos in her tank. Hewlett's gritty, punk-inspired art defined the series, vividly portraying Tank Girl's rebellious adventures. The comic's success led to collected editions and a 1995 film. Hewlett's vibrant, expressive style remains integral, shaping Tank Girl into a symbol of counterculture and feminist defiance.

September 1991. Once again, the TANK GIRL COLOUR CLASSICS is spotty on bibliographic stuff, but I think this Tank Girl poster is half of the fold-out from the poster magazine included with DEADLINE #33. (I know Tank Girl has always been about style over substance, but somebody's gotta keep track of this stuff.)

As any Tank Girl fans out there will know, our gal can often be seen wearing customised army helmets. They’re a super fun accessory, so I decided a few months back to have a go at making one. I started off by picking out a couple of ones I liked in the comics (see above for an example) and worked out a design. There were a lot of sticky out bits, so I had a feeling putting it together was going to be easier said than done, but I’ve never let that stop me before and didn’t this time. I could have taken the easy route and bought a plastic helmet, which would have been soooo simple to attach things to, but me being me, I decided to go with something authentic, namely (and I quote) a ‘genuine vintage Bulgarian army M72 steel combat helmet’ which was going cheap on good ol’ ebay 👍👍. I was totally expecting to have to drill holes in this for some of the attachments, but as luck would have it, there were some readymade ones 😊. These are the other bits I used…

1 x plastic creature head – I was looking for something which resembled the head on the attached reference picture and stumbled on something perfect while rummaging through a box of random toys in a thrift store.

1 x neodymium magnet – Used to fix the creature head onto the front of the helmet.

1 x dart – To stick in one of the holes. My only complaint here was I had to buy a pack of 3 and don’t know what to do with the other 2. Maybe I can use them in some future cosplay project.

1 x wooden rod + craft feathers + 1 x plastic wall plug – Used to make an arrow to poke in another of the holes. I had to make my own arrow, as none of the ones I saw for sale would have fit.

1 x kitchen fork – Another thrift store find which looked like it would be a good stand-in for the knife in the picture if I chopped the top off.

Some straps and buckles from an old bag – Stitched together to make a carrying strap for the helmet (which I needed to hang things off).

3 x old bullets for decoration

Some bits of leather to make a bandolier type thing to hold the bullets.

1 x old cigarette box for decoration.

1 x gun keyring – This was an impulse thrift store buy, which wasn’t in the original design, but I thought would be another good decoration (there were actually so many impulse buys like this I couldn’t use them all and ended up making a Tank Girl baseball cap for the overflow – more about that another time).

One of my old teddy bears (Flapjack) to hang from the knife (really a kitchen fork) handle.

1  x old white shoelace to make a hangman’s noose for my teddy (poor Flapjack 🎻).

Acrylic paint and brushes - I’m sure y’all can guess what these were for.

1x target sticker – I bought this in a craft store, because it looked just like the target on the helmet in the picture and I wanted to save myself a tricky painting job.

It took me a while to get all of that together (as you can imagine), but eventually I was ready to go. I eased myself in gently by sticking on the target sticker. Then I did the painting bits. I seem to be getting better at this, as I managed to get through it with no major screw-ups😊. I left the paint to dry for a day and sprayed on some fixative to protect it. It seems to be doing the job, though I have no clue how long it will last.

I made my arrow from the bits mentioned above and sawed off the top of the kitchen fork to make my stand-in knife. Then I worked out how I was going to attach everything. As I said, I used a magnet for the creature head. I stuck the arrow into one of the holes and the dart into another with a plastic bung on the other side to hold it in place. For the knife, I pushed a long screw through the last hole and screwed it into the top of the handle. You can see the screw from some angles, but it was the best I could come up with and it does the job.    

I hung Flapjack from the knife handle, clipped on the carry strap with its various decorations and that’s pretty much it. It’s not a bad take on the Tank Girl originals if I do say so myself, though it takes some getting used to. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bashed one of the sticky out bits on something when I’ve been walking around. Also it’s heavier at the back, so it has a tendency to slip off. As always, this isn’t a proper tutorial, but maybe it will be helpful if anyone out there is thinking of making their own Tank Girl helmet. Have fun if you do. I’m on Ko-fi if anyone is feeling generous and wants to support me in my cosplay adventures… ༻ko-fi.com/christabelq༺ It’s always super-appreciated. Bye for now. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
