absolut.evil writes "OK, so admittedly it is only 1/5th scale, but still pretty cool.. especially if you're a kid. The thing comes complete with working suspension, meticulously built wooden tank treads and X-Arcade controls. Check out the pics and construction timeline."

    When I grow old i wanna have a real panzer too.

    Truly a heroic deed for someone who wants his son grow up a soldier.
    It almost seems familiarization with war machinery in youth is common practice.

    War isn't fun and games. It involves murder, torture, rape. It's a horrible, horrible thing that will never go away. Kids will find out about it soooner or later, but why not allow them a few years of innocence?
