Building Lukas' Derby Tank






Ben got a jump start on Lukas' derby car this year!

We finished it last week, but I just got around to this post. As you'll notice, Lukas wanted an Army TANK this year.

Ben did a wonderful JOB with cutting and sanding it! He built it so that the top of the tank spins 360 degrees. Lukas painted it and Mommy touched it up a little bit to define the camo lines. After it dried, Lukas applied some army decal stickers and Ben sprayed it with clear coat.

Ben took it to the post office to check the weight and we are at exactly 5 ounces. Amazing... lets hope the scales are the same when derby day arrives! We are so pleased with the turn-out of his tank. We are hoping he gets "best design/show"! His Pinewood Derby is this Sunday. Wish Lukas luck and we'll update everyone this weekend!
