Posted October 22, 200717 yr Okay, this is my first moc I have posted on Eurobricks so i hope it turns out right :-$ . I told SirNadroj in one of his threads that he inspired me to create my own post-apoc MOC. I had planned to make it ages later but as I was dismantling my craptastic Dino attack tank, I decided to make something of it. I love making MOCs out of sets and the tank and quadbike in this are made from the tank and quadbike in the dino series! :-D I think they are better though. The platform is pretty rushed, I made it from the wings of my Sopwith Camel. Here it is: I love the barbarians in the trees. Please respect the amount of time it took to hang the skellies in the right positions. They kept spinning! |-/ My other sigfig is not present but you will see him in the halloween car contest. The story of this scene is in the Brickshelf gallery. My Brickshelf gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=281105 Sorry :-$ , I can't link it, I'm pretty stupid at this stuff. Enjoy! I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull* EDIT: It is linked! Man, I am stupid DOUBLE EDIT: Comments and constructive criticism greatly appreciated! Edited June 1, 200816 yr by Batbrick
October 22, 200717 yr A very nice MOC with some cool P-A atmosphere and a good color scheme. *y* I like your neat landscaping, especially that tree and your giant mushrooms. The tank
October 22, 200717 yr wow! loving the tank, like whats going on with the skellies, looks like it took some time
October 22, 200717 yr Author Thanks guys! *sweet* I really appreciate the feedback, and asuka, your right! As I was building the second tree I thopugh: "Hey! This looks a lot like a mushroom! :-D ", also thanks for liking the colour scheme, tan and brown can either look good, or bad like that Dino Island set :-X Thanks also goggleson! *sweet* I'm glad you liked the tank, and thankyou for your comments on the skellies, they were terrible to hang! I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*
October 22, 200717 yr Very nice! SirNadroj would be proud. I like this. You said it! ;-) Wow, Batbrick, for your first post-apoc MOC you did an excellent job! *y* I really love the scenery and the hanging skeletons. *wub* And the tank is great! I was trying to make a tank the other day, but it didn't come out right X-D I like those barabrians, too ;-) I'd love to see more from you! *y* Edited October 22, 200717 yr by SirNadroj

Thok and Sir Nadroj! *sweet* I understand now why we always see Mocs from you SirNadroj, I had a lot of fun building this one. I don't think i'll touch the post-apoc genre for awhile though, I'm more interested to see what your next one is. But keep a lookout for my punpkin car contest entry! I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*
October 22, 200717 yr Hey Batbrick, It's nice to see a MOC from you. I really like the diorama you set up. I agree with you that the barbarians are awesome! And I really appreciate those hanging skellies. That is really a creepy effect...I like the tank a lot and agree it is much more menacing and cool looking than that weird Dino-Attack one-which I did like, but it was weird. The only change I would suggest, and is it a major one, would be to lower that roof. Right now it looks more like a train engine than a tank. Could you maybe reconfigure that second level to be an enclosed gunner's station. I think that would make a big difference. Other than that, I really like this-the quadbike is particularly cool. Thanks again for sharing and I can't wait to see more stuff from you!

Thanks again for sharing and I can't wait to see more stuff from you! ____________ Thanks Hinckley, that advice was much needed I see now! I still have it intact, so I might Mod it soon, I'm glad you liked the quadbike, it was pretty simple apart from the small details. I might post a better version then. Thanks again! *sweet* I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull* Edited October 22, 200717 yr by Batbrick

Thanks again! *sweet* I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull* I really like the quad bike. I feel I didn't point that out enough. The configuration of the wheels to give it the feeling of forward suspension (does that make sense?) is really cool...I look forward to your tank mod *y*
October 23, 200717 yr The only change I would suggest, and is it a major one, would be to lower that roof. Right now it looks more like a train engine than a tank. Although I have to say that a rework of the tank could be interesting, I do think that this high roof adds a lot to the charm of the MOC. This train-look-a-like of it prevents that tank from appearing as the usual kind of streamlined future-tank and goes, IMHO, very well with the post-apoc atmosphere. So.... sorry, but.... make it even higher! X-D
October 23, 200717 yr Wow! That is great! I particularly like the landscape, the tree, and mushroom cluster are cleverly built. *y* The quad bike is neat, compact, and stylish, great job! The tank is awesome, and looks very cool! The colours all look great together too. *y* *y* :-D ~Peace

Hinckley sugested I make it more enclosed, more like a tank. I did this, the pilot now has a protective cockpit, and the leader has a bulletproof window. The gunners also have little cockpits too. Hope you liked it! :-$ Edited October 23, 200717 yr by Batbrick
October 24, 200717 yr OK, since you've been hounding me ;-) , I think it looks good! *y* And upon closer inspection, I really like the minifigures! *wub*
October 24, 200717 yr Nice modifications you've done to the tank there! I must say it looks a lot better. May I ask which one is your sig-fig though? ~Peace

October 24, 200717 yr __________Thanks! :-) He's the grumpy one on the far left I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull* I love your modification buddy. You stayed true to your original design like Asuka suggested, but now everyone's all protected from the barbarians. Much more of a tank, but still has your unique design. Excellent modification! BTW, I like Batbrick away better than your current sign-off...will you change it back after Halloween? :'-)
October 24, 200717 yr He's the grumpy one on the far left Still not quite sure... which left? You did post pics form all angles... *wacko* I'm so confused!! 8-| ~Peace
October 24, 200717 yr Author Still not quite sure... which left? You did post pics form all angles... *wacko* I'm so confused!! 8-| ~Peace _______ Whoops! Sorry! :-$ I was thinking of my halloween car contest entry! :-D Check it out, thats the one that has my other sigfig! This one doesn't contain my sigfig. And thanks Hinckley! I wanted to stay to the original design. Yes, I will change my awesome sign-off to the better one after hallaween, but because you like Batbrick Away better, heres one just for you! *sweet* Batbrick Away! >:-) Edited October 24, 200717 yr by Batbrick
October 24, 200717 yr Very nice improvements indeed, I especially like these tan side protection for your gunners, it really looks more solid now. *y*
