First off, thanks! Wow, to think the great Mladen is jelous of *me*... :)
Secondly, yes, I build my models (or at least structural mock-ups) IRL and
then LDraw them. The ZOOT Suit was inspired by Jsproat's armor years ago and
has been keeping guard over my desk ever since. I'm debating which color
scheme looks cooler - the one in the pics or the real-life scheme of black w/
blue details.
Also, yes, the tank is based on David White's images. He was gracious enough
to let me use the design, which is one of many I've been considering (I'm
still looking at that Coleopteran...)
Again, thanks!

P.S.- I'm a little ashamed for using that Tyco visor, but I've got a couple
and they're so darn cool. I wish Lego would come up with one like it.
P.P.S.- The ZOOT Suit still looks cool without a windshield... kind of an
industrial look to it.
