I'm pretty fixated on my new R/C tank, it is an aspect of toy soldiering that I'd never considered before. The hull and turret are pretty rugged ABS plastic, and all the running gear and tracks are metal, as are the gears and gearbox.
This video will give you a pretty good idea of its capabilities. By the way, all of the sound effects come from the tank itself, it has an impressive sound system.
This will be the only one I'll get as I have no more space down in the war room, I'm firm on the space issue, that's what limits the helmet collection - the amount of available wall space, which is now all occupied. That collecting philosophy has worked well for me for many years now.
By the way, over Christmas break (I go to school) I will be doing a large table-top scenario with the Marx Giant Blue and Gray playset. I think it'll make for some really good photos, as well as provide a moment of nostalgia for many of us.
See you next time.
Soldier on!

How cool is that, eh? I like the war room as well. Intense envy courses through my veins...
