Now *that* is a tank...

I've been perusing a little of Tv Tropes, (warning, may have annoying ads) and stumbled across some rules like "There is no kill like Overkill". 

Yes, flames shoot out of the back

The creator proffered this recently. You can't see the missile racks and the extra missiles on the side of the hatch, but trust me nothing was left to chance.
This after quite some time of pedestrian carriages that seemed more suited to cramming on passengers in the most alarming ways - see remote working will be the future. Meanwhile I noticed some of his older friends had acquired a mild edifice complex and joined the LEGO arms race to make the most awesome .... thing.
With amazing results to be honest.

 And perhaps we're entering that new phase now.

Again with the TV Tropes, there are a few McGuffins and some Phlebotinum attached to the back story of these things. And yes, they *all* have a back story...

context matters

The Creator's little sister is almost 5 years younger, but through a process of LEGO osmosis and exposure to the Creator's friends (mainly boys), is starting to branch out on her own.

Here's a recent oeuvre. It has wheels, BTW.


"It's a tank: the guns are at the front."

Some might say she is travelling a well worn furrow, but I'm amused to observe the differences.
She has voiced concern at a very young age about succumbing to the "tyranny of pink", but then, she quite likes the Lego Friends and the more (ahem) "structured" environment that brand seems to supply.

Then again, there's the above. Go figure.

p.s. one thing that is apparently a familial constant as you can see from the quote is how I have show surprise as I am described the painfully obvious details. Not sure how to take that.
