Scud Launcher

Well, I wanted to build a Scud Launcher for the Mid-America race's Big Rig "B" Division.
Here's the inspiration:
Below is how it turned out. It has been very much a rush job. I had to laugh when I put the wheels on. It is sooooo out of scale. I made the mistake of trying to scale the drawings of the vehicle to fit the big rig rules, without considering the actual size of the BSA wheels. I should have made it skinnier, not as tall and the rocket a smaller diameter to look better with those wheels. If I had the time, I would start over. Oh, well. I'll finish it off and race it anyways. Before our next Awana race, I'll try to find some larger wheels to put on it!
