| (...) Magnus, Thanks for the comments. You can squish 15 troops inside plus the driver and gunner in the seat shown. If you're really into the harsh reality of militaristic economics, you can get about 22, maybe 23 tops in there ;-) Cheers! ~ Paul. (18 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

And plus my son likes driving the vehicle sideways with both (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

My dad bought me that set way back then and it was a favourite because it had steering that worked and a simplistic engine with moving piston when you pushed it along the floor. (...)

| (...) Wolf, Yes I toyed with the idea of making it a few studs wider originally, but the scale of the vehicle looked out of place with the wheel diameter... and those are the only wheels in my collection (from 1980's technic set ;-) that would work.

I know how hard it can be to balance functionality and scale, and I think you've done a great job. I like the slightly sloped roof and you've (...)

If I recall, I believe the movie version was wider (or at least seemed to be--more low slung, perhaps; I suspect that's what you were commenting on in terms of the boxy-ness. Would widening the (...)
