Some time ago, I thought: Why should the space fans have all the fun of
making microfigure scale models? For those who don't know: Microfigure
scale is anything smaller than minifigure scale.
So I thought about making a wheeled vehicle in a scale smaller than the
minifigure scale. I still wanted rotating wheels, so I started out with
the smallest wheels available. They are ½ stud wide and about 1.3 studs
in diameter and use a normal ½-bush as hub.
Apart from this, I also wanted to use the airtank I recently modeled in
LDraw. So the result had to be a tanker truck:

The URL only has one image and one animation, so it isn't anything very
fancy.
What do you think about it? Is it too simple?
I was also thinking about making a trailer for it, but failed to find a
simple way to connect a trailer and still let it be articulated. Any
ideas?
