Thats awesome man! Are you thinking of doing a home depot build or going for bamboo in order to match the design?

HAH! Oh Derek.. what I would be ok with is widening the river at it's current widest point (east of the town) if need be... make it harder to cross there as it's already more of a valley than a river.

I was thinking of just using scrap lumber, dowels and possibly some spare tree branches, whatever, using string to tie it together.

Maybe even a spray of lacquer / weatherproofing so I could leave it outside... :O

I haven't started work on it, but the idea is to keep it rustic and woodsy, like it was built in a hurry from local timber.

It could turn out nicely I think.

Strato, if it can hold up your monster tanks, then I'm sure it will be strong enough! Wink

Heh, no kidding, I think my Tiger outweighs 3 your, mine and Frank's Shermans all at once.

I just added 480's to my Tiger, it was noticeably sluggish lately & I spend a couple nights tweaking the gearboxes.. hopefully they perform well.
