[TC6] IS-2 Heavy Tank

[D3K]

Stunning build! In my opinion one of your your best tanks so far!

It looks great, although I feel the turret is a tad small? Or is that just me I feel like it needs to be slightly wider

It may look that way from the perspective, but the edges of the turret are touching the sides of the hull, and it overhangs slightly off the front and the rear of the turret is right next to the dish on the engine deck.

The model is complete, I added some decals to it and tweaked some parts of it. The model can tear through the snow and it is probably one of my most reliable models, in only walked the tracks off twice during filming.

Slogan on the vehicle was created in gimp, as there isn't a font like that, I manually drew it. It says "For Motherland"

The DShK machine gun turned out pretty well.

I finally understand the reasoning behind having a MG mounted in the back of the turret, as it can be used when the turret is rotated around.

Now I just have to wait for Jim to unlock the Entry topic...

[Milan]

Awesome, one of the best tc6 entry. Snow shots are perfect!

[Nazgarot]

This turned out very well. It must be one of the best tanks I've seen. The lines are beautiful!

This will definitely get a vote from me.

Wow! I'm not much into military machinery, but this one looks really good and realistic, especially in the outdoors shots. One of my TC6 favourites so far!

[KirTech LAB]

Exellent work! I think you should create additional movie taken with lower point of view - Tank will looks more brutal and realistic!

I was going to do that, but the camera battery died in the cold...

[Jim]

Nice work and a great presentation in the entry topic! Well done

[skriblez]

I really want to build this!!! It looks nicer each time i view it

[super-jaschka]

very good work, very realistic.

I have a question: cat survived?

Yeah, he had hopped in front of the camera when I was filming. He didn't seem too bothered by it and he jumped up on the desk.

If anyone was wondering what the insides of the turret looks like or the gearbox for the turret, I have removed it and took detailed photos.

So much angles! At first sight it is hard to imagine that there is complex mechanism under the turret.

[filsawgood]

Awesome model! Stunning detail and functionality!

[RSL80]

I agree, awesome model!

[jono rocky]

Absolutely awesome, Have watched the vid a few times. Best tank yet. :thumbup:

Hi, Mr. Tommy

May I ask what axle did you used to connect road wheels? the big grey one for suspension.

Between the liftarm and the road wheels is a 4L axle with a stop. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=90241#T=C

Thanks alot Mr. Tommy!

I am trying to build a KV tank, heavily inspired by your work!
