Build Your Own Sherman Tank

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."

    If all you can teach your kid is to destroy things/people in your tank when he is this young, your as stupid as they they come.

    In pre-WW2 Germany, dressing kids like soldiers and playing with army toys was very popular, too.

    Americans: All your cannon fodder are belong to us. You are on the way to destruction.

    And it was rejected. That's the last time I'll
    ever submit a story here - it's a waste of time.

  4. Great for kids? by release7 · · Score: -1, Troll
    Giving a model of a vehicle designed to inflict death and mayhem on people isn't my idea of a great toy for a kid.

    Why not give them a mock up of a chemical warfare agent? "Hey, kids, it looks and smells like real sarin gas! Instantly say goodbye to all your friends and enemies in those worthless mock tanks. And because it's colorless and odorless, Mom will never know!"

  5. This guy does not like import beer by DJ+FirBee · · Score: 0, Troll

    //Just imagine the looks on your neighbors faces when you rumble into the midst of their barbecue in a Panzer, and paste the beer cooler with your 37mm potato cannon. That'll teach 'em to drink imported beer on the 4th of July. //

    That's where I stopped reading. If that guy trys to in any way separate me from my heinekens on the fourth of July, I will put a serious beat down upon him.

    Some of us have more firepower than a potato cannon. Regardless, this type of intrusion into my festivities would warrant a beat down with a stick or just a manual beatdown.

    As if I am less American because I drink better beer ...

    That guy deserves a bitchslap ...*BAP*!

    You sure said Fag a lot. I think someone is a little homosexual repressed. Maybe you should come out of the closet, I think it would make you feel better. By the way, have some guts and don't post Anonymously.
