Very nice - especially the crew stations. What was the power cable for the gatling, then - the Lego bit?

Yeah.  I couldn't find anything else suitable.

Looks outstanding.    What did you use for the perforated heat shields around the exhaust stacks?

A thin aluminum mesh that I got in the mail -- it contained promotional materials from a car company.  I saved it figuring I could use it sometime for a modelling project.

I wish I could find more, but I haven't been able to yet.

I figure I was just lucky to get the bloody thing standing upright!  I'll work on feet for my next incarnation.

Someday I will aspire to the title of "kr00za Apprentice".  Until then, my fatboyz will have tracks.

Aw, memories... my driver's name was Poole, so we named our tank "Cesspoole" for a time.  Until the 1SG got sick of it and threatened to make us all push until it changed.  Wacky fun.
