SOL Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Hi all! As a fun of StarCraft 2, i am really like to work on the Siege Tank mock from lego. It's still in progress and I want to share some videos with you: I will update this topic during assembling progress. If you want to see more photos you can visit Instagram page Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Very warm welcome @SOL. This is great start to introduce yourself and will follow your progress. Quote
Imanol BB Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 That tank looks really promising, it seems to work pretty well, thanks for sharing this cool model and welcome to Eurobricks. Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Welcome to Eurobricks. That is a seriously cool mechanism you've build. Is it all driven by one motor? Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Great introduction, welcome to Eurobricks! That is one impressive machine so far. I can't believe it only uses one motor... Will be watching your progress with great interest. Quote
SOL Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 Tank you, guys for hot welcome :) Yes, the tank's base powered by one motor. It uses 3 mechanical chains and motor switches to each of them during motions. And one more video with tank's cannon: It still WIP. Probably I will change it's design a little. Quote
Blakbird Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Wow, I absolutely love your mechanisms. This could all be done with multiple motors, switches, and sequencing but you have done it all mechanically. I'm interested to see the guts of it and the final version. Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Welcome) I love how this mechanics works. Looks just stunning. Edited March 16, 2017 by Victor Imaginator Quote
Ramacco Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Stunning model, beautiful mechanisms, love every part of it! Quote
ColletArrow Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 This is looking promising, I love the focus on mechanical solutions and subsequent minimal use of power functions. This should make it easier to hide the wires, as there are less of them! This is quite an entry, well done! Quote
Oliver 79 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Wow. That's incredibly well done. I watched the first video several times and it just blows my mind..... One motor?... Really? Like others, I'd love to see the internals. I'll follow this WIP with interest. Quote
DugaldIC Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 This is crazy, what you've come up with is brilliant. I can't wait to see the finished product! Quote
Lox Lego Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Love it! Really interesting setup. Have no clue how you did that. Quote
aeh5040 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 That's some amazing mechanical sequencing! (Not to mention very clean and compact structure). Please do share some pictures and video of the internal mechanisms... I think we are all wondering how it is done! Quote
offroadcreations Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) That's amazing on it's own, and the fact that it only uses one motor is even more astonishing! Great model, and I can't wait to see the complete tank and how it all works. Edited March 17, 2017 by Offroadcreat1ons Quote
Lakop Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 It's like a transformer! Great engineering and it looks good too. H Quote
Jonfensu Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 it is mind-blowing how smooth is the whole system, especially with just one motor. Definitely following this. Also looking how you have got the Siege Tank mechanisms, wondering if you have in mind building a Thor in the future Quote
GroundskeeperWillie Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 This is really great. Well made and looks authentic so far. I always loved that siege tank animation and you've captured it wonderfully. The legged tank from the game was also great but that would be next to impossible to implement in LEGO... Quote
SOL Posted March 18, 2017 Author Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Thank you all for so hot welcome! Yeah, it was more then twenty interactions before I reached final mechanical structure. I realised to late that I picked wrong scale for the tank because other mocks are in 1.5 time bigger. Of course my goal is to make it as much closer to original tank as it can be. I can sure you all, it is really one motor used to animate body, and one more for gun. As well it will be 3 more motors: 2 of them will be used to rotate wheals, and the rest to rotate gun. And of course, I will definitely share photos and explanation of all mechanical parts when it will be established. Edited March 18, 2017 by SOL Quote
nerdsforprez Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Holy crap. Agreed with everyone else on your first post, didn't say anything because didn't think I had much to add. But have to now. This gun is fantastic. Really looking forward to the end result here...... Quote
super-jaschka Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 A good idea to create this tank I'm interested in how many will be all the motors? Quote
RohanBeckett Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Great work! I have probably spent *weeks* of my life playing this game, a decade or so ago... Can't wait to see the finished thing! Since no one has linked the other siege tanks that people have made, just wondering if you've seen them? This one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lTd5LpB6Ao and this amazing one, with frustrating little video footage! http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/56444-moc-starcraft-2-technic-siege-tank/ Quote
SOL Posted March 19, 2017 Author Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) super-jaschka i suppose it will be 5 motors: 2 of the to move tank, 2 to make siege animation for body and gun, and 1 for gun's rotation RohanBeckett thank you for links! Second one is really amazing! I saw almost all it's references before I started work with mine. Edited March 19, 2017 by SOL Quote
SOL Posted March 21, 2017 Author Posted March 21, 2017 Quick update: Gravity problems and hotfix of course using rubbers :) Quote
