Hello.
The SPARTAN MK 1 is a surface effect, heavily armed, lightly armored air
defense artillery platform. It is armed with two nose mounted auto grenade
launchers, four 30mm auto cannon, 18 guided surface to surface missiles, four
air defense missiles, and standard smoke projectors. It carries one full
reload for all weapons and is self loading. Fire control is augmented by both
LRAD and SRAD radar systems. Please view it at:

I am in the process of trying to figure out the whole MOCPages thing, and
will post when my page is up.
I have been delighted by all the cool entries for this contest, and hope
that this entry will contribute to everyone else’s enjoyment.

When I first saw this on Brickshelf, before you posted it here, I looked at the
background and thought to myself, “hmmm, studless, mind-bogglingly massive piece
count, access to the water table, marked lack of interiors, is Keith posting
MOCs under a new identity now?” Of course without the mustard yellow skies of
the Iron Reich I knew it couldn’t be Keith, unless he moved or painted.
I feel your pain on the whole technology issue. Everything I know about digital
photography and posting on the web (what little that is) I learned for the sole
purpose of sharing my Lego creations online.
Now, about the Spartan. Well done! I like the low-angle shots, where it looks
kind of low-slung and angular. Sort of anime-style, though not the
big-purple-hair-and-flaming-energy-sword anime. I appreciate the attention to
detail in the coloring, and the little finishing touches like the tank commander
minifig. And you’ve got the playability angle covered with the reloading trick.
My airforce isn’t going anywhere near it!
