D3K Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Stunning build! In my opinion one of your your best tanks so far! Quote
legomuppet9 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 It looks great, although I feel the turret is a tad small? Or is that just me I feel like it needs to be slightly wider Quote
Tommy Styrvoky Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 It looks great, although I feel the turret is a tad small? Or is that just me I feel like it needs to be slightly wider It may look that way from the perspective, but the edges of the turret are touching the sides of the hull, and it overhangs slightly off the front and the rear of the turret is right next to the dish on the engine deck.

Tommy Styrvoky Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 The model is complete, I added some decals to it and tweaked some parts of it. The model can tear through the snow and it is probably one of my most reliable models, in only walked the tracks off twice during filming.

It says "For Motherland" Lego IS-2 Heavy Tank (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr The DShK machine gun turned out pretty well. Lego IS-2 Heavy Tank (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr I finally understand the reasoning behind having a MG mounted in the back of the turret, as it can be used when the turret is rotated around.

Milan Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Awesome, one of the best tc6 entry. Snow shots are perfect! Quote
Nazgarot Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 This turned out very well. It must be one of the best tanks I've seen. The lines are beautiful! This will definitely get a vote from me. -ED- Quote
5imon Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Wow! I'm not much into military machinery, but this one looks really good and realistic, especially in the outdoors shots. One of my TC6 favourites so far! Quote
KirTech LAB Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Exellent work! I think you should create additional movie taken with lower point of view - Tank will looks more brutal and realistic! Quote
Tommy Styrvoky Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Exellent work! I think you should create additional movie taken with lower point of view - Tank will looks more brutal and realistic! I was going to do that, but the camera battery died in the cold... Quote
Jim Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Nice work and a great presentation in the entry topic! Well done Quote
skriblez Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I really want to build this!!! It looks nicer each time i view it Quote
super-jaschka Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 very good work, very realistic. I have a question: cat survived? Quote
Tommy Styrvoky Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 very good work, very realistic. I have a question: cat survived? Yeah, he had hopped in front of the camera when I was filming. He didn't seem too bothered by it and he jumped up on the desk. Quote
Tommy Styrvoky Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 If anyone was wondering what the insides of the turret looks like or the gearbox for the turret, I have removed it and took detailed photos.

Milan Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 So much angles! At first sight it is hard to imagine that there is complex mechanism under the turret. Quote
filsawgood Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Awesome model! Stunning detail and functionality! Quote
jono rocky Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Absolutely awesome, Have watched the vid a few times. Best tank yet. :thumbup: Quote
