OA Building Their Own Tank For The "Battle".


As always, Outdoor Adventures wants to get in on the fun and enhance the game. Because of this, we are building an additional tank to be used at Battle of the Bulge II. Here are some pics of our progress.

Day Zero - The Gator

Day Two - Front and Rear Views after 2 days of work.

If everything goes as planned, it will be framed with a turret by Tuesday!

That is looking awesome! Mike was telling me how well it was going yesterday.

Is that a steel frame under the ply?

The frame is 2x3 for now. It is very strong. The long term plan is to re-frame it with metal. We wanted to get it done for BotBII.
