Here is my 1st post and custom project! i've been creeping around here for a while making little comments here and there. I actually found the Tank when I was looking for ideas for making a custom base for my son and I. I stole the idea of using foam coolers from a pic I saw of a huge base that someone built, I didn't have the room for something quite that big so I opted for a smaller version.
This was supposed to be just a quick learning project to figure how to do some things, but I had so much fun building it with my son that we kind of went overboard. This one has working lights in the garage level and I was about 3/4 done with a working elevator when I decided to see how well this help up before going too crazy. I am already working on the design for the Cobra base that will be much bigger with more lights and working electronics (and the elevator) and be made of more sturdy material, though this one is still holding strong. Take a look, I'd love to hear your ideas on how to make it better or add more "flash" to the next one. Last edited by wyojoe; 06-18-2011 at 12:16 AM.. |
