Interesting work, but I wouldn't call it a tank :) Looks to me like an all terrain, futuristic recon craft.

Well, now that you mention it, I am actually working on a tank

In all seriousness, there are a few things that I expect to see when I think of a tank: it is tracked, it is armored, it is big, has multiple crew members and it has at least one gun usually mounted in a turret. Your vehicle is tracked, but is small, has a single person sitting on it rather than in it and doesn't seem to have a gun anywhere let alone a turret, so in my mind it really doesn't look like a tank at all. When I saw this thread and then saw the pictures I could not help being a bit disappointed. I had something very similar in the staff restaurant at work a few days ago. They were serving something they called Beef Stroganoff. Now, I've had Beef Stroganoff before and have some idea of what it's supposed to taste like and this dish didn't taste like Beef Stroganoff at all. It was quite nice, but for a Beef Stroganoff it was terrible. If they would only have called it 'Beef with mushrooms', it would have been fine.

I'm not trying to be nasty here, but offer some advice. There's nothing wrong with your MOC per se, but you should probably think about what it is that you are actually building a bit more. If you want to build a tank, think about what sort of things anybody who you want to show it to will expect to see on a tank and give it those features. Instead it looks like you are going for some type of futuristic type tracked vehicle instead. So, why not call it a 'futuristic reconnaissance vehicle' or something like that? It would make a lot more sense.

Cheers,

Perhaps I'm old-fashioned.

no you're right^^

it is tracked, it is armored, it is big, has multiple crew members and it has at least one gun usually mounted in a turret.

I totally agree with that part^^ let's say Joey Lock's tank is a mini-tank ! but it miss a gun ^^

oh BTW , your tank is awesome.. and as I built one, I'm going to post it, HOP *guss go and post his new tank*

EDIT : maybe it's this tank ?
