Brickmaster Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Well, I was curious of my own little tank building skills, and the newly gotten treads from the bat tank were burning a hole in my creative mind. Not only that, but I wanted to test a new way of building a cockpit, with some new snot techniques. And this is the result - A short, stubby, cute, nonmenacing tank, that seats 2 people! X-D I like to think of it as somewhat realistic, rather than Exo's or UFO's recent futuristic tanks :-$ If you look closely you can see through the tank! :-D Little picture of how I formed the cockpit. Nothing like 2 crappy moc's duking it out in a crappy battle scene! :-P Thanks for looking - Comments, hate, or critisizm all welcomed and appreciated. Feel free to stop by its Mocpages page and leave a rate or review - I really appreciate it! :-) Thanks for looking. :-$ Quote
General Zen Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 That is really a well-constructed tank! Keep up the good work! Quote
wulf Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 THOSE ARE AWSOME!!!!!!I love the yellow one! Quote
Batbrick Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) I HATE IT! >:-( Just kidding, I love it *y* Its so cute, and not at all crappy like you say, espeacially that inventive cockpit design. The treads look good too, though I think you should remove a link as they look a little loose. Overall, I love this little beauty, can you post a shot of it without the turret? I actually think it would look better without it. Great tank! Batbrick is Back! >:-) Edited January 17, 2008 by Batbrick Quote

I actually think it would look better without it. Without that one extra link, the treads are so stiff if I tried to move them, they just explode off :-D I've tried :-$ As for the picture - I sure can :-) I'll do that right now actually ;-) Quote

My Battank had loose treads so I took a link out, it seems your tank treads are not as loose then. Awesome, I appreciate you posating the pic *sweet* Batbrick is Back! >:-) Quote
Brickmaster Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) By request, and after a quick mod, some more pictures of Stubber! Hope thats something like what ya ment :-$ Edited January 17, 2008 by Brickmaster Quote
Batbrick Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks for that, thats exactly what I meant! :-) I think I prefer it without the turret, as a sort of, heavy patrol/assault vehicle. Very cool! Batbrick is Back! >:-) Quote
AgentRick Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I don't think they're crappy, I like them! *y* Perhaps if you made a second one, you could put a troop carrier on the back Quote
Brickmaster Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks :-$ I could even take off the back plate and it could be a sort of armoured industrial dump truck :-D I like the lil thing :-$ And as always, I'm happy to fill a picture request - on any moc, anytime ;-) Quote

A VERY armoured cargo truck, for military operations. Again, just a suggestion, but it would be cool I think :-$ Batbrick is Back! >:-) Quote
Brickmaster Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 Well, there is pleanty of room for me to put.. well, anything I really wanted back there :-$ Right now its just empty space, alot of it, occypying the imaginary engine. It could probably hold ~ 5 troops back there uncomfortably.. 4 nicely. The back of this thing is a nice clean little slate for mod's and options I see now :-$ Quote
XO_Tech_Industries Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I must say, the cockpit construction is very clever. Great MOC!!! Quote
Starwars4J Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Hey this is a great little tank here, Brickmaster *y* My only criticisms would be that it's a little boxy, and could do with some more details. I understand you want to go with the armored look, but even real armored tanks are covered with details. A great place to put them would be in the area by the gears, it seems a bit plain. The sides above the wheels too would be nice, and definitely the front. The lights are a great touch but a few more details definitely couldn't hurt, right? What about a ladder to climb down off of or up into? How do they get in/out of the cockpit? Little things like that ;-) Quote
Kukla Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I liked it a lot. I thought it had some great features but was simplistic and not overly detailed. Really seems like an official set. My one gripe was that the cockpit roof wasn't even, it seemed as if the plates were laying unevenly on top of the window, but it seems when you took the cannon off in the modification that afterwards they were resting evenly. I don't know if the cannon impeded it, or if you just pushed them down real good on the studs, but its fixed! In conclusion, me writing this up is a long-winded waste :-) . Great work though! Quote
iamded Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Awesome tank, Brickmaster! I love it, it's so small and cute and nifty! :-D I like the fact that the chains look a tad loose, it adds to the cartoony feel of it. I didn't expect it to be able to hold 2 minifigs, which is a bonus. I can see a giant engine taking up the whole back area. :-D Super-fast tanks ON! X-D *y* *y* ~Peace Quote
ExoBuilder Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 What do you mean by: "something like Exos or UFOs? You trying to talk trash about my tank boy? :-D Anyway. :-$ I like this, it's very snotty, good choice! *y* I've always wanted to build a tank using gears, I just don't think I have that much :-( Anyway, it's a great tank! *y* *y* Quote
zero1312 Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Now that's a great tank *wub* , although it looks more like a howitzer than a MBT (Main Battle Tank). ;-) But great nonetheless. *y* *y* Quote
YOYO Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 oooh I love it!, especially the windshield, very cool Quote
