Very nice design Havoc. Good luck and if I can give any advice I wil gladly do so. Looks like you have it all thought out already. Only comment I have is as Wizard told me once before, in paintball bigger isn't always better when it comes to tanks. Good luck and enjoy the building part. That's the most fun for me.

thanks man! i will probably have some questions for you guys.

i know size is a disadvantage. but we wanted an apc for non mpp games, troop transport, like blanding. and the van was free. we couldnt resist! we come from op cobra @ command decisions where we had the pleasure of meeting odx and all their nice armor.

hahahah, I have the same van in my yard but the xl version (longer). Selling it cause if I make a tank out of it my wife will shoot me. It's sooo tempting just to chop it off at the floor to the front door posts and then make whatever, but the closest field is 240 miles away where I could use it. I even have a trailer for it but that road leads to the dark side.

See you in October! Can't wait to see how your monster garage project works out.

We could totally make a convertible turret out of that thing and just use it to drive to the games.

Yo Havok, just saw your work up of the tank. I think you have a nice set up planned.

Watch the PA system. It can get you waisted by your own team. We had one of our own tanks threaten to shoot us at D-Day for playing March of the Empire in line for the parade at D-Day... LOL! (an ipod can be too much fun with a PA system )

But seriously man, it looks like you have it figured pretty well. Be sure to take some under constructions pictures for us!
