This is the MTM-168 (Mobile Tank Mecha)




I’ll be happy to answer questions, it’s a cool tank mecha. Can switch from Tank to mecha.

Big heavy hatch on front and the treads roll. Lots of credit to give; the Double ball joint system (al-la E. Sophie and M. Clancy) works uber well. Inspiration was lifted from classic-space dot com’s concept art page. Color was largely helped along with my recent interation with Dan Rubin, making me rethink the value of tan.

Enjoy guys!

Mark

(...) -Snip- Ya, know......... What IF: like um, what if you added RC racer style motors and geartrain to the tred legs. Then watch it go nuts!

(...) Hello Mark, happy to see your still building MOC bringing discussions to .mecha which face the true sense of it - the MOC and the brick. Beside that I have to admit I wouldn't have recognized the MTM-168 as a "Neumann". Where did you hide (...) (19 years ago, 26-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
