A few months ago I got involved with my sons cubscout pack as a leader.. My fellow leaders and decided that we should make a float for our Town's memorial day parade..... A tank was decided on... It was quite the weekend project! WE built it so its mounted on a landscaper's trailer and its quite a sight to behold as it sits there in my back yard. We have only one more coat of paint to do...have to give it some camo colors and some of those Red, white and blue swales for the wagon and it'll be ready for the parade... I think its the first time any packs in my town have assembled such a precision fighting instrument before! Was a lot of work, but alot of fun. I was never a boyscout growing up...so I guess I am living it now.

Hey, isn't there a rule on the forum about being intentionally misleading??? Hope it was as much fun as I originally thought.

Thank Pat,when it comes to my kids..I'd do anything! I'll post some more tank shots after we finish it up.. I couldn't wait to share some pics..I was really blown away by how well it came out...considering we had never built anything like it!

I bet it will come out awesome. Lucky kids and hope they are helping.

Brew, Cub Scouts are at a very impressionable age. I don't think that it's appropriate to get totally tanked in front of them.

Truly, it's very very cool. I bet it will kick *** in the parade.

Pretty cool Al... can you turn it into something like this?

A few of the parents thought we should mount potatoe shooters...but Not sure about that one.. might not go over well with homeland security....we are rigging it with a smoking gun though courtesy of a smoke machine one of the dads has....should be pretty cool.

Thanks!
