Yeah I tried to streamline it a little more, but unfortunately, I am in the
process of building a pirate ship where I made my own hull, so it sucks up
alot of bricks, lots of them being grey. Espeically the bow area. What you
see on my tank is all I have left of grey. I really wanted the two walls
beside the cockpit to be angled at the same degreee as the cockpit, but I
couldn't scrounge enough (45 degree?)angled pieces.it can actually hold 16
troops not eight. oops. thanx for the coments.
