Awesome Al, I was involved in scouting for many years, made it all the way to Eagle eventually. Great program. Tank looks great! Maybe you can convert them into potato guns AFTER the parade, for a little home shoot.

[Second Hand Pat]

Cool Al, looks really good. Your boys must be stoked.

Tomarrow's the day! Can't wait we even hooked a smoke machine up to the cannon and it spews out smoke every minute or so.

This is going to be a great event for the kids and parents!

Al, really nice job. Have a blast tomorrow.

At work we build tank mock ups which are used in army simulations. You can get inside the mock ups which are built and configured just like the inside of the tank. We have monitors inside which show the terrain you are driving through with sound effects. It gives a pretty realistic effect and the kids love it when we have bring your student to work day. You can even shoot the darn things...simulated of course.
