Re:WALKING TANK-BODY WORK UPDATE 3-15-10

It's time for the next chapter of "WALKING TANK" "BODY WORK". I still don't have more brass tubing to finish the legs so I decided to work on the hull. I added head lamps, which I drilled out so I can add lens later, and head lamp guards. Some gas caps were also added to the rear deck. The main effort went into adding the standoffs for the spaced armor that I wanted to add to overcome those nasty panzerfaust's. Here is some images of the work so far. Comments are always welcome.

Terry,
Looks great. My Bunker is coming along nicely and we will have to
plan a "PLAY DATE" with the two of them. :lol: :evil: :blink
Mine is in the "and things" folder.
Can't wait to see the rest of it.

Terry,
I would love to have you send some flying targets over, I can't show you
what it's air defenses look like (think Laser) :eek:hmy:
As for infantry, (what makes the grass grow green green green)?
Blood makes the grass grow green green green.
Sorry it's an old infantry/grunt song.
Sappers will be in for some unpleasant surprises too...
Note that my engineers here never have to leave the safety of
underground. (Moles love it underground).
Some of the other anti-Walker traps are snares that pull walkers into
spiked walls, Electrified trip wires that pop up from the rubble/
ground. Is that bacon I smell, Nope it's your infantry, sorry. :blink ;)
If (and I'm not say they will) but if your aircraft do get in, we
just seal it off and move to another location. (Nomadic Moles)
I once went to a Physical Security Officers course that NCIS put
on, they made me one of the terrorist. We had an old Physec Officer
put in charge of the terrorist. He kept telling us that we couldn't
do this and couldn't do that. It just wasn't fair, I said, terrorist
only have one rule, win at whatever cost. So I told the instructor that
I shot him and took over. (I thought the instructor turned three lighter
shades of white). He asked the guy if he would step out of the room.
Then he told him what I had done, and if he wanted to, he could go join
the good guys team. He then told me to let the rest of the terrorist
know what I did and ask them if they wanted to go over to the good guys
side too? Not one of them questioned me, or wanted to leave the group.
We didn't get the Admiral (our target) because they had moved him
from the hospital, to the aircraft carrier for minor surgery
(I brought it to their attention, that they would not have
done surgery on him while in port, but conceded that we didn't get
him), We did blow up all the aircraft on base, destroyed most of the
barracks, blew up the guy and galley (chow hall) and took over the
hospital and had hundreds of hostages plus we wiped out all of the
1st responders. Even though it wasn't in the plan, most of the
terrorist got away. All of the NCIS officers pulled me aside after
wards and made me swear that I would never go over to the dark side
(for real). :evil: :evil: :evil:
They said that they would have to re-write the whole event because
they didn't have any way of combating all the stuff that we did.
Even though the guy went over to their side and they put higher
security measures in effect (dogs on the gates, more patrols etc...)
We managed to get all of the weapons and explosives in place a week
before they locked everything down. So we just came on business as
usual and WHAM. :blink :eek:hmy: :(
What can I say :idonno
So let me know why your guys want to come and play and we'll make
it a surprise party they will never forget. :S
