How about THIS for a project...

Post by Dietrich »

How about THIS as a project.... It needs a HELL of a lot of work to make it look like .. . ANY known tank... :D .. But running around the garden or a farmers field would be a real laugh..Especially with the paintball gun !!... Its a Single Person Tank
.
I guess that with the 6 sets of twin wheels per side a Panzer III is the nearest thing.... But the body needs a considerable amount of shall we say 'Modification' ...To make it look like a Panzer !!!

Hi ALPHA,
............I think that you will find that it is a MINIMUM age requirement.... NOT a MAXIMUM Limit... :haha: .....
.
My Physical age is much older as well... but my 'Mental' age probably ONLY entitles me to operate the One-Man tank....... and I think that YOURS might also only allow you to operate the same One-Man tank ...... :haha:.........
.
My wife says that I act like a 12 year old boy at times............ :/ :haha:

Well... I just broke up with my gal... who thought my tanking was cute ... also saying that when I spoke of them it seemed that I was a kid again... no specific age... but I would guess I would qualify...so long I could fit into that hatch that is ;) ............. :haha:

Hi Nick,
..........Looks like Gareth got the hang of steering pretty quickly :) .... Its VERY responsive.....but I think that the lower Bogie wheels are actually Rigid rather than any form of suspension... 8O
