Hi all,

I've been wanting to build a hovertank ever since the beginning of this year.
For me, hovertanks are one of the most interesting land warfare vehicles to
design. Setting about to make my tank look futuristic, and aggressive, I
disposed of the whole single turret + gun thing (too archaic and dull).
Anyways, I hope you all like it!

"Mammoth" Next-Generation Hovertank:

Some time ago, Aquazone-builder-extraordinaire, Felix Greco asked my, very
kindly, to try my hand at some underwater MOCs. Well Felix, I've kept my
promise...

"Diver" Aquatic Warfare Mecha:
http://www3.sympatico.ca/mladenpejic/Diver.htm

It looks simple, and it is, but I tried to jazz it up a bit by adding some
naval tech. onto it. This won't be my last foray into Aquazone building, so
I'll get better, I promise! ;-)

Finally, I revised my several-months-old hard-suit design and took pics of it.
I think it's one of my best 'suits because it can be built in large numbers,
and it's fairly decent looking.

"Pixie" Light Hard-Suit: http://www3.sympatico.ca/mladenpejic/Pixie.htm

Oh, and I've also completed the LDraw file for my "Brute" mecha. For anyone who
cares, you can find it here: http://www3.sympatico.ca/mladenpejic/Brute.htm.

That's all folks!

Mladen Pejic, over and out!

Wow,Mladen! Those are really cool MOCs- especially the 'pixie,' great use of small pieces. But most of all, I love the 'mammoth.' I can just stare at it for hours, goggling at it. Wow. Truly amzing.
