When I was 9 or 10 and living in Ohio, a kid down the street had a tank his dad had built of plywood. Two kids could sit in the hull and Flintstone it around while another occupied a fully rotating turret with 2" pipe gun. It was awesome.

Wow! I can't believe what they're asking for these toys that I beat on as a kid.
Yep. I was into war when I was a kid.
I had a toy "Sargent Saunders" Thompson Submachine Gun that went into many a battle with me.

Lusted for and then received. Learned to make my own ink. And a crude form of gunpowder.

Dang. Are we long lost brothers? {#Lol}

I must have built 50 models.

I had a Red Baron Fokker Tri Plane hanging from my ceiling battling Spads in a dogfight.
Numerous other planes hanging. Cars everywhere. And the U.S.S. Constitution.
That's where I started my love for all things Mopar.
And started shooting my Chevys and Fords with my pellet gun. Or setting them on fire. Or blowing them up with M-80's.
I still have that urge today. I need to contain my road rage hate for Chevys. {#Cheesygrin}
