Does this belong in the HOW-TO? Maybe, but don't ask ME how to build this. This is waht the dudes and dudettes do in construction classes. It's not basswood or balsa, it's all cedar. You guys can figure out the rest.
It IS 1/18th scale and was probably 3.5'x3.5'x2' or so. Took 2 people to haul it around.
