File:WheelchairConstruction2.jpg%7CAn inner frame is constructed and attached to the wheelchair. The outer frame will attach to this, allowing for 'modules' to be attached or removed from the inner frame at will. File:WheelchairConstruction3.jpg%7CThe top half of the outer frame completed. File:WheelchairConstruction4.jpg%7CThe bottom half of the outer frame completed. Taken for a test drive up the garden, it works well! File:WheelchairConstruction5.jpg%7CFoamboard panels are starting to be attached, to create the 'armour' of the tank.
