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!

Mmm... Nothing like a variable tank-mecha to start off the week.
Mark, this rules! You totally nailed the concept. I seriously hope you explore
it even further and perhaps at a larger scale.
Some minor suggestions:
- The tan-blue colour scheme is awesome, and I have used it plenty of times
myself, however, it is more of a ‘parade’ colour scheme than a hardcore military
one. I dunno, maybe I have just become too biased in favour of bland grey-based
colour schemes over the years. Perhaps if you used a sand-blue or a dark-blue
(or any darker highlight for that matter) it would look more ‘sober’. - I agree
with Eric, the threads do look exposed and vulnerable to enemy fire. I think
some thin covers would make the whole thing look even more ‘mecha-ish’ (?).
However, I do understand you were inspired by that concept art and that at this
scale such armour would be too bulky. But if you do take another, larger stab at
this design, I think some kind of tread guards would be an apt addition.
Anyways, you made my day man. Keep up the awesome work!
