Lego war toys

Further to my recent post about the stupid reaction of some people to lego characters with guns, I decided to build a tank out of Duplo.

Now Duplo is about the most inoffensive stuff that you can find. Here, I have made a tank using the base of a train engine, and put a mine roller on the front (a roller attachment from a farm set - this normally goes on the back of a tractor).

Fitting the main arnament was tricky, since the blocks aren't meant to go sideways.

I couldn't work out a way to make the turret traverse. There might be something in a lego set that would allow me to do that, but Duplo is just too basic.

See? Give a bloke some blocks meant for 12 month old kiddies and guns are soon created.
