Norton74 Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Hello, this Space Tank is a "small class" unit inspired by WWI English tank Mark I. Colors and style are clearly based on LEGO Classic Space series. Named "Blue Bull" due to the stocky shape, it's equipped with a huge long-range gun and with a little gun machine right below the rotating turret. I particularly like the loader's hatch and the details featured both on the turret and the side. The crew is composed by 3 crewmen: the commander, the driver and the gunner. Here the Tank is at the maintenance hangar where the staff is taking care of it after a moon mission. Below the Space Tank in plain sight Even if Classic Space is not my comfort zone of building, and some friends of mine were surprised seeing this new build, I like this theme since I was a little boy. Moreover having in stock a lot of CS pieces pushed me to build the tank and the space hangar. It has been really funny building this MOC and for sure won't be alone for a long time. The forklift is based on Alban Nanty one. More pics and info on my flickr photostream. All the best and happy building! Andrea - Norton74 Quote

Patgeo Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Awesome creation! I loved the tank, and all of its details! Also, all the movement in the hangar, is great as well! Quote
SteveOC Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 I really like this as it is but is there any chance you can do a pure Classic Space exploration version without the guns? Quote
Norton74 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Posted April 29, 2016 Awesome creation! I loved the tank, and all of its details! Also, all the movement in the hangar, is great as well! Thanks for your feedback, very appreciated I really like this as it is but is there any chance you can do a pure Classic Space exploration version without the guns? Thanks Steve. I'm thinking to build other versions of the tank even without the gun. At the moment I'm engaged in photographing my latest big MOC (very hard-working) but as soon as I finish the shooting I'll build new Classic Space stuff Quote
Funky Koval Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Very nice. And somewhat Metal Sluggish. :) Seeing the normally-pacifist Classic Space geared for war is most refreshing... Quote
pittpenguin123 Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Looks like it came out of bluemoon from advance wars. I love it. Quote

BrickCurve Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Great job! I think that a blue 1 x 6 brick would look better here rather than a trans yellow one. Quote
