That's really great Steve! Have you tried it with the base at 6-wide? I've seen
a few tankers with the base narrower than the tank, so it may look OK at
6-wide, too.
And that's a neat idea for the walkway!

These are very nice HoMa! Reminds me of even *before* that SW set came out that
had those quarter sections-- I was hording the tan 8x8 gungan patrol wheels to
create a tanker. What a waste of time and money:-/ (anyone need about 80?)

As far as US prototypes go, there are many that don't even *have* a base-- just
tank and trucks!

HoMa, I hope you are planning on coming to the States this next summer! There
will be *some* big event planned. If $$$ is an issue, start selling blood
now...;-)

Where and when? Blood donations isn't a good idea. I'd liked to donate some
blood recently, but I wasn't allowed, because I lived more than 5 months in
the Great Britain between 1980 and now. They are feared about some MAD COW
DISEASE aspects... Will I get crazy sometimes?
I am LEGO crazy right now :-]

*will* happen!

Sometimes an idea just doesn't work out-- I never pursued it after accumulating
all of those 8x8 discs....
