ldview keeps crashing pov-ray works fine

the only problem is that I don't Have a windows computer. i might just have to find a alternative to ldd to pov-ray.

I Have been unable to run POV-ray on my mac because the only versions that is available is in .exe format. I also attempted to run that file with wine and Playonmac but had no success.

Really cool build, now just make it possible to disassemble the tower autonomously and have a hopper feed system for the modules.

I had one of my PF m motors die from something (I used it in return to center steering) but it could have been from a short-circuit In the wire.

Welcome to EB really nice build, it's nice to see more military builds here.

Cool model, how do you do your renders with the PF cables ? Do you use LDD or ldraw ?

great build, i love the transmission.

Yes, but I am unable to play WoT right now, I will be getting a new computer next year. For my earlyer models I scaled them from length, width, and height. After the churchill I used your model scaler.

well I have posted some of my Tank builds on Eurobricks and those builds have been my most recent ones so why not post my older builds here and continue to add more builds to this list. These tanks are from my "first year" of posting builds on EB, flickr,and mocpages. A39 Tortoise This is my first major build that required planning and my first time using bricklnk to obtain parts. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/371020 M4 Sherman Firefly My second build, it was complex for me (at the time) to design the HVSS suspension. The suspension is used by my american vehicles. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/371992 M8 75mm GMC another american vehicle with my first 2 speed transmission in it, it used 2 compacted versions of Sariel's heavy-duty 2 speed gear box. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/376549 E-100 With this build I got a new camera for recording video footage in HD. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/377995 Maus (instructions available) This was my first 1/35th scale build. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/378211 Elefant It featured a mechanism with adders to create a realistic idling effect when the tank is driving. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/381824 Churchill VII another vehicle with a transmission and my first vehicle where I focused on editing the main picture to look somewhat nicer. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/385930 Panther Ausf. G this tank was designed for mobility and my first attempt at interleaving road wheels with torsion bars. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/388236 STuG III Ausf. F my first attempt at a non Light bluish grey vehicle and a recreation of my first RC tank with better details. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/388921 TOG II (instructions available) another 1/35 build http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/389024 Tiger I Ausf. E late version My first vehicle with my own transmission design, and it having a fully detailed engine compartment. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/391139 SturmTiger First vehicle to feature a working shooting mechanism (credit to Kelkschiz) http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/391445 T28/T95 Super Heavy Tank 1/20 (RC) 1 year of MOCs http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/394186 i couldn't post all of the videos but there are links to them on each of the mocpages pages or heres a link to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube..../jmsbd07/videos more vehicles will be continued to be added when they are built.

nice conversion but I don't really like the use of non lego motors for it, it kinda takes the fun out of fitting massive lego motors into the small chassis. I have done a conversion of the kit but it was only front wheel drive and could have been all wheel drive, if i had another M motor at the time. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/377554 sorry for bad video quality, it's a older video.

cool idea , the gyro sensor can be purchased from legoeducation too https://shop.education.lego.com/legoed/education/LEGO+MINDSTORMS+Education+EV3/EV3+Gyro+Sensor/45505&isSimpleSearch=false

Yeah but there was some contact problems with the firing mechanism , so it's not as steep.

Lego SturmTiger 1/15 (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr well here it is, the conversion of my Tiger I into the SturmTiger, fitted with a 3 round auto-loaded gun. It also has fully working RC drivetrain, gun elevation, 2 speed transmission, detailed engine, and working torsion-bar suspension I also re-shaped parts of the hull to improve the accuracy of details. here is the firing mechanism It's a modified version of Kelkschiz's version. it achieves ranges of 25-30 ft with 1x3 technic beams Lego SturmTiger firing mechanism by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr the mechanism in operation https://flic.kr/p/o7dUUn the transmission used in the tank Lego Tiger I transmission by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr Lego SturmTiger 1/15 (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr more photos and information here http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/391445

It looks nice and runs well too. Would It help the improve flotation of the vehicle if there was another sprung swing arm on top of the pendular suspension?

would it generate enough thrust ? ( its only like 3 studs in diameter, a larger version would be required)you could stack them and offset them for more thrust.

what about a Challenger 2 tank, it's similar to some of your previous designs. and heres the finished firing mechanism Lego SturmTiger firing mechanism by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr and some progress on the tank Lego SturmTiger 1/15 (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr

maybe base the tank off of a real vehicle for added challenge ?modern vehicles have very wide turrets. and what are you working on at the moment ?

I added 2 more springs and its making around 25 ft shots with 5 and 3 beams at head level.

I built a similar mechanism for my Sturmtiger, all thats left to do is to add a magazine.

work has all ready begun on the SturmTiger. Lego SturmTiger 1/15 (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr

Might convert it to a Sturmtiger and have a working gun.

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) 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.
