Remarkable Its A Barondook

By Daniel on May 5th, 2009

I’ve always loved tanks.

As a kid, I had a few metal tanks that would shoot these plastic missles. I’ve actually got them around here, somewhere. They’re all beat to hell though. I’d set them up with army men, and destroy countless wooden block castles.

I don’t know exactly what I like about them, but I like that they are little fortresses on wheels/tracks. The DaVinci tank is pretty amazing too. I saw a really nice model of one at a science exhibit in Portland years ago. Splendid. We need some of those.

Once I discovered what WWI tanks looked like, it sort of blew my mind. Some are miniature tanks, while others are massive with the over-the-top treads and side turrets.
So very cool.

And by “cool,” I mean that they’re neat but I’m really thankful I don’t have to sit in one. Can you image how loud those old ones were? It’s gotta be crazy.

For the MIGHTY WAR, I think that those tanks needed to be huge lumbering iron men. (But that’s because I love iron golems.)

I also picture most autos in MONSTRU to be tank-like. They’re certainly armored.

    In grade school there was a kid named Billy. He did not like buying models, as he was a expert at building and painting them. He had an Exacto knife and he could make the most detialed Panzer and other style tanks out of little scraps of cardboard.
    His number is listed! I gotta give him a call

      No kidding? That’s cool. Yeah, we can do a lot if we simply try.

      The AUTHORITY does not encourage such tomfoolery. Wheeled vehicles are the only vehicles allowed on the MONSTU highways system. Unless of course, those vehicles are CrowBots.

        It’s only illegal if you get caught…

        Sometimes not even then. ;)

      Thanks, Dave! Pretty crazy stuff. Love the gigantic tank treads for mines.
