| Still steerable. I ain't broke it yet playing with it. Without the copper tube and brass pieces, I don't imagine that these built kits would last too long in a kid's hands.But seeing that four of these kits I own were only partially built when I bought them, I'll bet most of these kits were never completed in the first place. |

| I was suprised to see how big the real gun is.There's a picture on the web of a Bofor being towed by a pickup truck. The gun is about half again as long as the truck. |

| No, I didn't just flop the image. It actually steers! |

| Details of the turning mechanism for the trailer. I pretty much followed the stinkin' directions (as my wife tells me) but substituted copper tube and brass jewelry pieces for the wood parts. I figured it would be much sturdier that way. |

| These are some other wheels I made or found. Metal washers on bolts worked well but then cut into the aluminum. The white wheel worked well. It is a roller from a sliding shower door. Almost there, but not quite yet. I think I have a better solution and will post a bit later. |
