I’m cross-posting this to military now, as I forgot to do so with my original
post.

On ze rocks for me!
As usual, thanks Ryan for taking the time to show us how you came up with
this baby.
It’s a nifty over-tank, well in the shape / size / mood / whatever to go and
fight against your previous JE over-tank. Congatulations for that : although
the two of them offer totaly different designs / construction technics, you
managed to create a set à la “bad Darth Vader and his tie against good Y-Wing
and its pilot”. Amazing!
I like the design, the turet with chrome parts, the fact that the four
under-pods have an angle (I saw some of your early construction pics for this
detail and was afraid you keep them “flat”), neat detail!
Cheers,
JP.

JP, thank you as always for your comments. Yes, the hovertanks do make quite a
pair, the JE tank looked quite lonely before. These two will soon be joined
other mocs in what has potential to be the largest ground battle documented in
the history of .space! :) NWBC is the setting for this proposed battle, and I
already have several others besides myself who will be contributing mocs for the
event. Stay tuned!
The angle of the pods on the underside was something I felt was necessary to
combat the overall flatness of that bottom surface. I still think it’s pretty
flat. I tried a couple of variations for the hover pod design suggested by
Giddens and Sandlin, but they didn’t run out very well. Their suggestion will be
utilized however in another upcoming project.
