Tank treads

I've made a start on the FRONAT tank at last.  Here is a reference image for the treads:

I managed to put together this so far:

Better luck with macro

I figured out how to make my aperture setting count when reversing the lens.  This has helped me to get far sharper pictures in closeup.  Its still a bit hit-and-miss, but I'm getting better.

F.R.O.N.A.T. tank


Well... Here's my concept for the next round of the competition.  Its called the Feline Retribution Orbital Navigation Aqua-Tank.  (FRONAT).

The vehicle enables garden owners who are tired of neighbour's cats s**ting on their lawn to torture the moggy by squirting water at it (every cat hates this with a passion).

The vehicle is crewed by three highly trained operatives - a driver, communications specialist (allowing airsupport to be called in via satellite uplink should the moggy try to escape) and a weapons officer who is responsible for accurately squirting the cat with water.  The FRONAT is armed with a 500 litre reservoir of refridgerated water, and is armoured with teflon coated plate steel incase the cat tries to scratch the crew.  Every eventuality has be catered for.
