Nice!! I also think those paintball tanks are neat for scenarios and what not. I think that APCs would be REALLY cool for those. Everyone hoping out the back of an armored vehicle and entering right into a game?? Pretty cool.

So you mean, "build something that is a tank, but is wild and original" or something. Like, some "pimped out" tank -thing?? Haha, well I haven't an idea where to get the inspiration from, but it sounds like a fun idea.

Information acknowledged. I want planning on doing one, but it did sound interesting at the time.

Thanks!! I'm checking them out!!

We'll mow I'm envisioning a kettenkrad biker gang, haha. How fast do those things move about??

Now that would be something, a kettenkrad. A hotrod Kettenkred nonetheless. Excuse me- You've got a good idea going there. That's a neat design. Where do you get the tracks??

Haha, low rider-light tank. Sounds interesting. I'm sure his skill level is WAY WAY above mine. I have to use a buddy of mine's equipment to build anything in the first place.

What is the simplest form of suspension??

No of course, I understand that most of it must be fabricated, but some of it is just plain out of my ability to create, such as tracks, or an engine.

Wow, that M59 IS one big machine. I'm not looking to build a giant. I COULD purchase, but I like to get into it. If I can make myself like something, then I'm INTO IT. And that shouldn't be so hard with military vehicles. The Panzer III is indeed a fascinating tank. I also like the idea of...

I'm thinking it will be about the size of a general light take. The Renault looks neat. I still like that German light tank somebody mentioned.

Well this thread is meant to figure out WHAT I want to do. It might be some time before it gets started. I'll take a cheering section once the project gets up and running though.

Vettes- I am liking the idea of a light tank build. Something smaller but doable.

My only concern about tackling something historic is accuracy. In doing something real, I'd want to be as accurate as possible. Where do I find plans and outlines and whatnot for tanks?? In the cabin and externally??

Haha, I think I'll go a little bit more real than a blow up tank. I have read about those fortitude tanks though. I am more of a Civil War kinda guy though.
