If you wish--though in a month or less, I'll be
building one! :) The guns are only a very basic
"space-holder" construction--I would improve them
on a finished version. Missile racks were the
runner-up.

Only if the tread were constantly engaged. In theory
it would be lifted off the ground and only engaged in
straight-on going over broken or rough ground. Of
course, going over rough ground it would hit the sur-
face anyways...so it's more for funkiness and to see
if it could actually be build that way than any actual
utility.
