I like that - reminds me of the old Monogram Garbage Truck hot-rod/band-stage model (I have an incomplete one):



You could do a whole series of military vehicles converted for festival/performance art work. How about a bridge-laying tank using it's extended bridge as a cantilevered stage? Or a tank with two circular dance/DJ platforms, one on top of it's commander's cupola and one on the end of an arm that replaces the gun barrel, both of which counter-rotate to face the audience constantly as the turret rotates?

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Nice to see it being used though  :thumbsup:

Plenty available at the music festivals it frequents!

Probably went to the same festivals as the designers!  :angel:

If you click on the arcadia link, they do several stages that must have required a fevered imagination. The Spider is in the first pic I posted.

I'm always impressed at the amount of work that goes in behind the scenes at these things. We had filming going on in Hull several times over the last few years, and a small army of niche support companies turned up that you'd never even think of.
