W.I.P- Vehicle Hangar - Project Advice.
 
Hi Guys,
I'm working on a project right now which involves building a hangar or storage area/motor pool. I need some help with measurements on some gijoe vehicles as I want to recreate a building i've seen in a computer game.

Can someone measure up for me a V1 HISS Tank a MOBAT And an AWE Striker please?
I need to know how wide they are, and how long. I would do this myself but i'm only just beginning to buy back what I used to have. I think the building might be complete before the vehicles arrive.

I'll post up pictures when its finished.

Thanks in advance if someone can get me the measurements.

Rich

MOBAT: 13" x 6"
AWE: 7.5" x 5"

Ok. So I managed to take the game shots, some of them are pretty good and shows you the type of building i'm looking to complete.

Now judging by the measurements offered to me by Vader for the vehicles, I'll have to mod the front entrance to be taller to fit the HISS. I could probably make this to fit both Joe & Cobra vehicles.

Inside their are supporting struts to the roof, going across the ceiling, any ideas on what i could use to replicate those? I intend to decorate foamboard for the outer walls, and use a piece of board for the floor (obviously change the flooring) so it looks like a concrete base.

If your mildly proficiant at working with wood, I would use square dowl rod from the hobbie store! It's cheap, and easy to assemble! I have a piece in my project that is similar and that is what I am going to use.
