[TC7][WIP] The Boom-Dozer

So it took me a little time to figure out what I would do for TC7. I'm still not sure, but at least I have a concept.

The basic concept is that the base stays the same, and the top transforms in some way to become a tank. Maybe the bulldozer arms could become some sort of armor. Who knows. Hopefully I'll figure it out.

I've used the subtractor from Sariel's excellent unofficial lego technic builder guide (http://sariel.pl/201...-available-now/) as a base. My 42048 bulldozer and crawler have provided donor parts. Not sure which functions will be automated, except for propulsion.

I think at this stage I'll be an enforcer, but depends on how far my white parts extend.

I'll update as I get further.

Now I'm curious, can't wait to see how it turns out.

Well, they say you learn more from your mistakes than anything else.

I don't know if I would call this a failure, but I am certainly abandoning it. My concept was to have the bulldozers sides come down, and form the armor of the tank. But I'm just not feeling it. I don't think the bulldozer was going to look any good. There's probably a not bad my first lego tank in there. Here's the final state:

Too bad you had to ditch it, its a great tank though!
