A DIFFERENT Kind of Superstreets Vehicle

Missed this. Tired of it yet? A fleet of these along with a few military trucks would be a pretty good enough reason to start into Superstreets, eh?

That's really cool. Where'd you get them. Are they remote control? A few creative/warped ideas are spinning around in my head with the prospect of creating an operating vignette.

All Looks Well with the Tank on Main Street

    Looks like all five steps worked out, to meet your objectives for this project of a tank on main street. "Cool" I like the two parked delivery trucks.

That's great Lee! Always impressive.

I wonder if you could bash a couple streets sections into some crumpled up vehicles for the tank to roll over? I'll bet nobodies ever done it that way before.

WOW, a tank, this has to be another first for a Super Streets application. Nice job.

Lee.

"Tanks" for sharing your latest project with us!

I always enjoy your projects and your explanations of these projects.

Are there any videos?

Jim

Wheres the video?

Ah geez guys.  That was in January 2012. It was too wide to run very often on 'Streets.  It knocked over stuff nearby.

 I took the tank apart to use if for my 'war train" and the motor and drive in other vehicles.   

I ought to make another one though. If I do I will post a video.

Very nice Lee, have you done a  DIVCO van?

James

Very cool indeed! When you build the next one, build a couple of floats to go with it. Clear the streets of other vehicles and you have the start of a Veterans Day Parade!

Speak of the devil - - - I started a conversion six months ago, thene we had some kerfuffle here at the house and a family matter  came up.  So I put the whole project in a box and now I can't find the box!  

But I plan to do one as one of the example projects in my second 'Streets book, which I am writing now.  It was actually on my desk right next to this computer - I expect to start this afternoon. 

From having started on that other one six months ago.  I do recall it more difficult than it looks going in, because of the diecast model, not the easiest of conversions: anyone who takes one of the DIVCO models apart, close all the doors and use masking tape on the outside to hold them in place.  If you don't they fall out and you will spend a lot of time coaxing them back into position.  When you convert to 'Streets you have a problem with them because the original chassis, which you have replaced with a 'Streets one, held them in place.
