In Soviet Russia, T-53 drives you!

[Darth Andrew]

I really wasn't sure to put this. Yeah, it's kinda based off the upcoming Indy IV movie, but it doesn't actually deal with it. So here is the tank I built today, the GLORIOUS T-53:

EDIT: I also made a scene for it, titled "The Cold War Heats Up:" http://mocpages.com/moc.php/56887

Comments? Constructive criticisms? Soviet Russias?

Hey, that's cool. It's always great when someone builds a MOC out of a set.

Wow, a very nice tank you've made there, especially considering that it is an alternate model I like the turret and the front 'plough' looks great. Is the tank sturdy? If so, I'd be interested in building one myself

Great job Darth Andrew

[Asuka]

A very neat and pretty detailed tank indeed, in an especially fine color scheme!

[Darth Andrew]

Thanks for all the comments! I made a little scene for it today: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/56887

@TinyPiesRUs: It's extremely sturdy, though the plough can come off if you nudge it too much.

Looks very good.

The tank is very good. (BTW, since when had the sovjet Russians Jungles? )

The checkpoint Charlie scene is very nice done with the explosion, but I'm happy the Sovjets didn't do this in real. It would make europe so messy.

Im getting all new Indy sets soon

Is that made, Purely from the Set?

Yeah, I'd like to know that too!

Me too. It probably would have started World War III.

@Joey Lock and zero: No, but most of it is from River Chase and Jungle Cutter. Some of the plates that cover the treads I used from my own collection, along with a few dark green tiles and the dark grey dish on top of the turret. I also got the barrel from the AT-AP set. Other than that, it's all from those two sets.

Thanks for the info!

Fantastic job there, I love doing things like that, and the tank looks great and very intimidating
