Ok, when I first responded to this thread, I was joking about what I was going to make for my son. To recap, my wife is dressing him as a fox (he is 5 months old), so I joked that I was going to build a tank for him to sit in (w/ desert camo) so he could be Rommel.
After I wrote that, I started thinking about it.
And thinking about it.
And now, because of some stupid joke I made, I can't get it out of my head. So last night, I started building it. I went to Home Depot and got caster wheels and bolts, then when I got home I started hot gluing and cutting. I've got the turret built, the engine compartment is done, and the front armor. I'm halfway done building the treads.
It's four feet long, maybe three feet wide so far, and solid.
I will post pictures as soon as I finish and paint it.
Oh, the things we do for our kids....
(Who am I kidding? He's 5 months old, I'm doing this for ME!)
