Put this under a hole in the platform of your diorama of miniatures.
When you plug in the light socket, it's a dead short. The fuse will blow, igniting the gun powder. That light socket/fuse combination becomes a mortar and the toy tank that's sitting over the hole in the diorama's floor it is now history.
I bet that is why Smiley moves so often. I always wondered, why someone would change houses so much.

** CAUTION: These acts should only be done only by a professional trained to handle an explosive performance safely. Clay do not try this at home!
