Master Tyng,
 
---Director's commentary on---
 
  These shorts depict the duality of hobby. 
 
  The scratch builder is tempted by finished commercial goods which, out of the box, can run circles around and over labors of love in progress.  In the final scenes we witness the creation come to life, overcoming the literal and figurative hurdles.
 
  I thought it was obvious.  I think the message will be much clearer once my CGI department superimposes the yellow H2 over that block of wood under the crushing weight of the tank.  I didn't want to spoon feed the message by using a voice over, not to mention Morgan Freeman wasn't available.  So far critics have reacted to the face value, "footage is cool" but I'm hopeful it will become a classic.
 
---bullsh... err... Director's commentary off---
 
  Uh, I just wanted to show off my shiny new toy and maybe others who aren't able/willing to build a tank can get in to the hobby a little easier.

I don't quite get the ramming the tank with the plastic toy trick but going over the cardboard box footage is cool.  Looking forward to seeing the Tahvildaran T34 in action this fall.
