I found this site that I thought may be of interest to anyone planning on building their own tank:

Thanks this was some very helpful information. My brother used to build tanks, this added information will be helpful.

I am going to need to bookmark this site, Im not sure if its worth it first time off to build my own or buy one.

Would this be something a beginner would try? I lucked out and someone was offering a tank on Freecycle. However, I'm wondering if this wouldn't be a perfect project for a Parent/child scouting project. What would be the age they could help with something like this?

[whynotfive]

They could help as soon as they are mature enough to work with the equipment, and materials, and as soon as they are old enough to have the dexterity to handle stuff too. Maturity will be an issue too, as they will need to be able to follow instructions well.

Personally I don't think it's a good beginner project. There's too much risk of a tank leaking, and that's not something I would think a beginner would want to deal with.
