I’m replying to the post seen here so as to avoid any confusion. Looks like Stephen made a mistake when replying :)

Mini-tanks are fun :-)

Thanks for the compliments, Stephen. Glad you like some of the finer details of the hovertank. Because you and JPR have expressed interest in the technique used to give the hoverpods an angle, The best pic I have at the moment that shows the trick used is the one seen here. The top 1/3 of the pic shows the two halves of the moc. On the bottom hald of the tank you can see 4 of these in light grey. When you stick a technic half pin into the hole of the 2x2 dome, the open stud end of the half pin fits over the exposed handle of the tap underneath the tank. I’ll have to post a better pic later, but this explanation might suffice if I’ve been clear enough.
