    Three New MOCs! —Mladen Pejic
   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 (...)

         Re: Three New MOCs! —Mladen Pejic
     (...) Thanks Matt, so glad you liked it. Yes, the saucers are anti-gravity drives, and the red unit in the back is a heat sink. (...) Mladen Pejic, over and out! (URL) (22 years ago, 20-Aug-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
