So somebody on here, sometime back, posted a picture of a "Lego" tank they built. It was obviously off brand because Lego doesn't do war toys but looked great and planted the seed so to speak. My parents actually bought me a "Lego" Tiger tank for Christmas and once I got it built I couldn't just throw it up on my shelf with out a little bit "Lego" warfare for it.

So I ordered some parts both Lego and off brand
as well as pilfered some pieces from my daughter and here we are.....Lego War has begun.

Looks good!

Was your daughter a willing donor of said pilfered pieces? I hope so.

The time it takes to put something like this together is well spent.

Yup, It was Lego, but I had built it without any plans. The tracks were trial and error (mostly error) to work on a wooden desk.

I also had a good bit of head scratching involved putting together a half-track and howitzer close to the same scale.

Yes my daughter was a willing supplier.

Week done, sir! This will be one of those things she remembers forever.

So far, my son won’t do anything quite this organized. I’ve tried a few times, but somehow it always comes back to building space ships.

Tell him he needs to build a really cool battletank surface rover with a multidirectional defense mechanism.

For, um... Aliens with a really bad HOA.
