Hello Mladen
| |
Heh, I finally made use of the precious few sand green elements I had.
|
You certainly made good use of them.
| |
I have none of those nifty, wide Technic treads, so my only option for
building anything close to a futuristic MBT was to make a multiped mecha with
a turret.
|
You know, I could just picture the Prowler with those treads and it
would look just as awesome, maybe even more so.
Did you consider a Hover Tank of sorts?
| |
The turret proved too small for a minifig, so I sort of copped out
and made this an “autonomous” tank. Bah, one day I’ll make a turret that can
fit those chubby minifigs. ;-)

I have been considering the autonomous tank idea since I saw the
Scarab on Karim Nassar’s site.

Then I also saw it in the Patlabor movie I practically began buiding
one but then decided to keep going with the power armor projects.
I enjoyed this one greatly. Thanks man.
Take care.
