MOC: Modular Armored Unit

[thire5]

Modular Armored Unit with multi-rocket launcher. I'm going to build another module (artillery or radar).

I hope you like it.

Nice, the most striking feature is the rocket launchers.

Great job thire5 ! It's very detailed my favorite part is the cockpit, since it has many cool details. Although the MOC as a whole is excellent. The Module idea is pretty neat as well; I can't wait to see the other modules! The only way I think you could improve it would be to make the rocket launchers bigger, as they seem rather small compared to the rest of the vehicle.

Excellent design and craftmanship. Boring military color but fitting.

I can see this rolling over a deployable bridge and moving into range on a hostile target zone and turning it into a parking lot. A vehicle like this needs a couple support jeeps each with a high caliber barrelled gun mounted to the canopy.

Maybe a little too studless for me but I like the shapes and sturdy look. Has a feeling of power in the look of it.

MOC on!

Wow, a massive beast that is, a hefty and pretty dangerous one indeed.

It looks very distinct with great details like that rising infrared sensor

thingy and even a detailed underside with steerable wheels!

The modular aspect´s a very cool touch as well, are

you working on some other configurations?

Thank you .

I'm working on a new spaceship right now. After that I'll build another module.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll think about that!

This has some excellent detail, especially the 1x1 bricks used as missile pods. The 4-wheel steering system is a great addition as well.

Very nice! Love the rocket launchers and assymetry of the MOC. Some nice shapes mixed in there and it's a nice touch to see the flaps there to cover the windshield.

Thank you for your comments.

I've seen that technique many times before. So it's not completely my idea.

And the steering system is not perfect. Sometimes it bugs.

Great job, at first glance you almost forget that it's made of LEGO. For future modules, have you considered and APC, or Command center module?

[Batbrick]

This is such a beautiful beast it makes me angry that there are people out there better at making big armoured vehicles than me!

Seriously though, much as you already know it, this thing is great. I love the rocket launchers on top, so big and practical. I'd never thought of simply having the holes on the bottom of bricks as the launcher, very clever. Love the cockpit too, so many very nice details and I love your minifig choice. Good choice for the wheels too, I just wish that you would have had all black or all grey caps on the wheels, instead of black then grey. Nice job on having a steering function too. It may not work perfectly but atleast you have one!

The near studless look is really fantastic as well, I love the skirt of armour over the wheels especially. Another part really constructed great is the front of the vehicle, nicely detailed and pretty much perfect! Fantastic work, I hope ot see more from you!

Batbrick Away!

Thank you for the compliments.

For future modules, have you considered and APC, or Command center module?

Command unit is good idea. I thought about APC but there is not enough space for its interior.

[TenorPenny]

Large, looming and dangerous. Excellent! I'd be interested in seeing the other modules, too.

Hello, I've biuld a new module. Here it is:

A pretty hefty twin gun that is indeed, distinct in appearance and neatly detailed. These two outriggers´re superb.

Maybe a tiny bit of color, like a trans red piece for some target device or so, could be a nice addition...
