Very nice, as always! Do you have any history of the wheeled vehicle that is on here, and you are using as today's banner? It looks like something that could have inspired the Star Wars AT-AT walkers.
it's a WW2 mine exploder... it was designed to have the land mines blow up under it. The vehicle is articulated, and I can find the link... the new tank facebook site I came across last night had this, and damn, I thought, I have to make that machine my banner. Reminded me of several post apocalyptic wasteland traveler vehicles, and the military unit from Alien.

DeleteThanks! It's a cool looking vehicle. Sounds like it was developed too late in the war, so Germany only built one. The US Army found it after the war.
