January 10, 201510 yr Author 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.
January 11, 201510 yr Author 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.

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.

January 11, 201510 yr 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-
January 11, 201510 yr 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!
January 11, 201510 yr Exellent work! I think you should create additional movie taken with lower point of view - Tank will looks more brutal and realistic!

January 12, 201510 yr Author 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.
January 18, 201510 yr Author 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.

January 18, 201510 yr So much angles! At first sight it is hard to imagine that there is complex mechanism under the turret.
February 16, 201510 yr Absolutely awesome, Have watched the vid a few times. Best tank yet. :thumbup:

Between the liftarm and the road wheels is a 4L axle with a stop. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=90241#T=C
