anton1678 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 That thing is awesome! But all those hatches everywhere? I don't quite get what the ones on the sides do, the ones with the gears at 1:15 Also adding a gun, even only a one-shot, would be really cool. I think a one-time pressure release mechanism, no reloading, would make it just that one bit cooler. Quote

Kelkschiz Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Great amount of functionality for it's size and an awesome amount of detail. Love how well the turret turned out. Very iconic. I think it's your best one so far. Quote
Eraman Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 It's very cool tank, i wish i could build something like this, great job Quote

I didn't mean official LEGO ones, I only said 'pressure release mechanism, could be a lego pneumatics compressed air cylinder, or rubber band, or spring powered Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 The gearbox it's simply cute and awsome!! Love it overall....very well done!!! Like the suspensions aswel!! Quote
Sariel Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Also adding a gun, even only a one-shot, would be really cool. Why not flying? The model is nice, and clearly a lot of work went into it. Very nice details on turret's front. As a tank maniac, I have some remarks, though: - the muzzle brake seems a little small - the hull seems too long, perhaps because of the road wheels being spaced too far apart. In real tank, one wheel's axle almost touches the adjacent wheel's rim. - the lower front hull would look better tilted and set a little deeper between the tracks - I'm under impression the tracks are too narrow, but perhaps you have chosen scale that simply doesn't have any properly sized ready-made tracks to use with Edited June 25, 2014 by Sariel Quote

In real tank, one wheel's axle almost touches the adjacent wheel's rim. The whole tank is 4 studs too long (56 instead of 52) and the road wheels should be 6.667 studs in diameter (800mm/15/8) - the lower front hull would look better tilted and set a little deeper between the tracks - I'm under impression the tracks are too narrow, but perhaps you have chosen scale that simply doesn't have any properly sized ready-made tracks to use with Should be 6 stud wide ones but if I used 2 sets of 3 wide tracks I would have problems with the interleaving road wheels and those tracks tend to break easily.

Tommy Styrvoky Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Might convert it to a Sturmtiger and have a working gun. Edited June 25, 2014 by Tommy Styrvoky Quote
Tommy Styrvoky Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 work has all ready begun on the SturmTiger. Lego SturmTiger 1/15 (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr Quote
