Just Thinking about the structure may be you should use cardboard (the one with foam inside) instead of wood for the pavement.
it will be lighter.

Just my 2 cents
Seb

I like the idea a lot, and I just love the armoured rail vehicle. But I saw these Tamya sand bags (nooooooooooooo !!!). I'm sure you can make them from milliput and they will look much, much better ! G.
