After seeing Kyle Vrieze’s Spider Tank I was floored. Naturally, I was amazed at the new bar Kyle had
raised, and I promptly e-mailed him (due LUGNET posting technical
difficulties). His MOC inspired this. Thanks Kyle! :-)

It’s great that you were inspired by my Spider Tank, and it’s also pretty cool
that within the space of about a day, you’re posting a MOC inspired by my
last post, and I’m posting a MOC inspired by your last post.

I’ll list my other influences:
- T-90 turret --> I liked the radial, fanning out arrangement of the armoured panels
- RADHA from Patlabor 2 anime --> I wanted to make a wheeled quadruped that actually rolled
- deployed German 88mm Flak 36 --> This leads into the next one below...
- Jeremy Sproat’s Suborbital Defender --> I liked the idea of a offensive and defensive mode

Yeah, the Suborbital Defender rules!
I love it! It’s cool how it looks more military and less anime than mine, it’s
really your style. That radial arrangment of armor plating using the hinge
plates and wedge plates is very creative, and works perfectly for a turret. The
same configuration would also work well for a rounded-off rear section of a
turret. I’d never seen a T-90 before, and it’s cool to see the real-life
inspiration.
The way the lower legs taper in the middle, then flare out with the wheel
housings, gives the bushwacker a little bit of a water-strider shape, which is
cool.
Other highlights--the hatch, the A-wing pilot minifig (one of my faves), the
tight color scheme (as always), full wheeled mobility, and the innovative parts
use on the 14.5mm gun.
And if I’d seen your missile packs a few days before I finished my latest MOC,
they’d already be stolen. Awesome work!
