Neo Blacktron AIK-1 Tank

[Blacktron]

It's been a while since I've uploaded pics of my Neo Blacktron MOCs. I've build lots of new MOCs but haven't made pictures or updated the thread for a long time.

I was looking for new inspiration at the internet when I found an amazing Tank Desgin made by Miniature Scenery.

I felt in love with the design of this wheeled tank and instantly had to build a MOC inspired by it for my Neo Blacktron Army.

I hope you like it. C & C welcome.

This is one serious vehicle! It looks so thick and heavy, and I really like those guns.

Nice and chunky. Can the guns be aimed upwards too? Looks like they'd be good for anti-aircraft fire.

Wow! Nice tank, and by nice I mean having it on your side! Like the wheels. I assume it can handle any terrain it comes across.

Thanks buddy, that's a great idea. The guns can only swivel to the sides, but not that I'm thinking about it, this should be no problem with some exoforce joints.

Thanks very much for your feedback. I like these chima wheels too. I need more of them.

OMG that is amazing! I love all the details you put in it, and how you chose the best LEGO Space Theme to drive it.

Thats pretty menacing!

Yessir, this is one tough customer. But a little vulnerable on the right side, perhaps? Might want to add an antipersonnel weapon on that side of the turret.

That is absolutely awesome! Nice fusion of tank and APC

[Blacktron]

Thanks very much for all these nice comments. I've modified a few sections. The wheel parts on the guns are dark bluish grey now instead of neon green. Also the discs on the sides turn now with the wheels. The gun can now be aimed upwards, just like Missing Brick suggested. I think a small weapon on the tower is a really nice idea too, VK-318. I'll ad one.

Great comments, guys.

Is the helmet on the gunner custom? If not, please could you post a link of the bricklink inventory of it?

[Blacktron]

The helmet is custom made. It's a casted and painted A-Wing pilot helmet.

Looks cool! I like that it is "realistic" in its functions, and i love the hatches for the driver and commander.
