He Told His Wife That It's For the Kids

Is that full size or is it a scale down model? Doesn't look like you could get too many crew in there.

 

Also, it seems like there was a whole lot of welding going on. My understanding is that World War I they were pretty much all riveted together. That way when they took a good solid hit the rivets broke loose and flew around on the inside and killed more people than the shell did.

[Subdeacon Joe]

Yeah,  they were riveted.  And made of thicker steel.  

 

They didn't need to  be all that big:

Mass	6.5 tonnes (6.4 long tons; 7.2 short tons)
Length	5.00 m (16 ft 5 in)
Width	1.74 m (5 ft 9 in)
Height	2.14 m (7 ft 0 in)
Crew	2 (commander, driver)

 

 

Still,  not a bad for a home built.

 

[Alpo]

Yeah I figured he wasn't building it out of armor plate. I did not realize it only had a crew of two.

 

It's an impressive job.

That would be fun, but I'd rig it with a modern engine small enough to fit and powerful enough to get it up to about 5-8 mph...maybe a Mazda or something similar.

Can you put a potato gun on it?

[Ozark Huckleberry]
