If LDD counts, I guess I'm doing pretty good in this arms race then. Here's a list of just the finished vehicles.

1. Hardsuit
2. Tank drone
3. AA gun
4. APC
5. Heavy attack buggy
6. Self propelled assault gun

And that's just what hasn't been made unuseable by the recent update. the list of WIPs includes

1. MAZ-543 model
2. Various parts of an armored train. once the super heavy artillery caris done it would pose a serious threat to the AC. (look up Dora and Gustav to know how big this is once I figure out how to do the duel track setup)
3. Moonbase module equiped with four ballistic missiles.
4. An awesome super spear buggy with a flame paintjob.

dora and gustav didn't travel along the rails in one piece. they were disassembled and moved in pieces then reasembled (double tracks don't work on curves.)

I think I worked out a simple "streching" system in which when turning a corner one side streches out. It would be pretty complex though so I won't be able to build it in LDD like most of my stuff is.

Edit: found a pic of a model of Dora turning.
