This is really, really good, Joel! The tanks are very visually appealing,
and they make a good use of the the artic components. The condor has a good
'swooshable' rating - everything bends and moves depending on the mode that

an awesome set of MOCs) is that the treads on the tanks would create a lot
of drag the way that they stick down. But that was only my first
impression, and after looking at it a bit I liked it more and more.
Well done!! Can't wait to see more...
