Tommy Styrvoky Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Lego GW Tiger 1/15 (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr I present my largest vehicle yet, the GW Tiger. Built off a lengthened Tiger II chassis, it mounts the 21 cm mrs 18 Morser. The vehicle was prototyped and only one vehicle was partially finished when the allies captured it. It features opening hatches (driver's hatch is for lights, MG side is for the battery box), there is a 5:1 ratio between the XL motors and the drive sprockets, gun depression and elevation is powered by 2 linear actuators, gun recoil, working earth spade, lights, track tensioning with the rear idler wheel, and fully independent suspension made up of a combination of springs and a couple torsion bars.

VKTechnic Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Nice job! It's a tad gray, but there's not much you can do about that Quote
Tommy Styrvoky Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 Nice job! It's a tad gray, but there's not much you can do about that quite a few of the german vehicles were painted "German Grey" it would be probably closer to dark Bley, though the tracks would match the color of the tank.

Epic Technic Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Well that is the biggest Lego tank I have ever seen. Great job. Quote
