Great rendition of one of my favorite military weapons of today!

Thanks! It’s something I have been thinking about building for a long time but
not having the bricks to make reality of it, until now. :)

The IGMLRS is simply awesome. I love the use of brown on this model, it gives
it a camo look. The way in which the whole thing flows is quite impressive, I
wasn’t expecting the center to be a rocket launcher. With 41 rocket tubes, a
popup radar tower, and ICBMs, this monstrously large vehicle looks like it
can dish out some incredible destructive force. But why 41 tubes? That is
such an odd number, since it is an odd number. Why not an even 40 or a
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy 42? I suppose it is because that is all that
would fit but whatever, it is a pointless nitpick.

I probably should not tell this but the brown color came in to the picture
because lack och dark grey 2 x 2 double convex slope brick, I bought a mini MTT
to get brown ones. Sometimes is good to have a shortage of bricks. ;)
42 tubes would have been great! 50 tubes is the next number since one full row
is 9 tubes wide, it was just the number of rows that fitted in the ‘launcher
box’. I was suprised too when I counted them, it’s sure is a odd number!

Nonetheless, great job on this MOC. Good luck in the contest! Actually, if it
is less that 30 studs by 30 studs you could replace the wheel with hover
engines and enter it in the Military Hover Vehicles contest too!

Thanks again, I appreciate all the comments, all this positive response is truly
inspiering!
