Quarryman Posted March 10, 2009 Finally managed to put together a version of my main battle tank that I've dubbed Mertseger (after a minor Egyptian godess that protected the Valley of the Kings). It fits two minifigs, one driver and one gunner/commander. Some stats: Width: 11.2 studs (10 studs plus 1.5 plates on each side) Length: 22 studs Height: 7 bricks Time spent: No idea, this MOC has come a long way since my first attempts in mlcad Number of pieces: I forgot to count ..UAV view ..the turret can traverse a full 360 degrees ..working suspension And one with a minifig to show the scale There are quite a few things that I want to improve, like shave off a few plates from the height, make it longer, add more details, etc. But that's for another day. Still, suggestions for improvements are highly welcome And all the images link to the full set on Flickr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero1312 Posted March 10, 2009 Woah!!! Nice tank. Nice details and a powerfull and sturdy look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batbrick Posted March 10, 2009 Awesome stuff Quarryman, looks perfect to me, especially the gun turret and amroured skirt. I honestly don't see much to improve, it's great! Batbrick Away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacK Posted March 10, 2009 Woah I'd hate to be in the sights of that tank! The turret and main body are very well done I love the gun barrel, and the use of flaps on the front is also very clever. The one small nitpick I have is the overhang over the treads, if possible I think it might look a little better if the treads were a bit longer to eliminate the overhang. Still this is an amazing MOC . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TenorPenny Posted March 11, 2009 I like your use of the wing pieces, side on, to give the beast some shape. Solid work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zepher Posted March 11, 2009 Camo is nice, as is the over-all design. It doesn't look like it would fit two,, which doesn't really mean anything good or bad... Turret turning is nice, treads are nice. ve-all a sturdy build, nice work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still this is an amazing MOC . Yes, the overhang bothers me a bit too, have to see if I can shorten the overhang without it getting too close to the treads (there's not much room around there ) Maybe switching to smaller gears in the front could help, will have to see about that.

Thanks, and it really does fit two (wonder if I can make it fit three, though I have no idea how that could be done. This tank looks great! Any pics of the interior? Thanks. I'll see if I can take some interior pics this weekend (guess it means I have to fix the interior though, it got a bit rushed nearing the end. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pr0visorak Posted March 13, 2009 It looks great but I doubt any minifigs can go inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
