Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a small, simple MOC I have completed.

This is a 'light tank.'  Really light because I guess it would be smaller than
minifig-scale (yes, I know it's not of a scale).  A key factor, of course, was
the abundant tread/track.  This does not attempt to model a real world
vehicle, although the pointed front end took some inspiration from WWI or some
interwar prototype tank that I seem to recall seeing pictures of.

Looks pretty neat. Like you said, the scale isn't exactly minifig.  Maybe they
could be GPS controled tanks. So there wouldn't need to be room for a person
inside.

I have a slightly bigger tank (same treads, different turret) in the works and
a modern style APC or AFV.

I eventually will get some of the link treads, but I think that will force
scaling up.  With this size of design I have the bricks to build a several
and they would be small enough to fit on a rail car I believe.

Looks small enough.  Would be interesting to have a whole train with military
equipment.

It also might be nice to do in dark gray.  Not sure I have all the parts or
that they even make them... although since it's small there aren't *that* many
different kinds of parts anyway.

I have worked on some aircraft too, but keep running into road blocks.
