Posted September 17, 200915 yr I was sorting bricks by colour the other day (I still am ) and noticed I had a lot of 2x4 slopes and 4x4 sloped corners in dark red. I combined them with my large wheels, a stubby barrel and some dark bley inverts to create a minitank. I added a few details and two of the dozen or so red racer creatures I own and thus a new faction in my ever expanding universe was born. With heavy weapons. I hope to build more within this faction in keeping with this first MOC.
November 2, 200915 yr Pretty good. I'd suggest you change the wheels. It reminds me of the tanks off Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind. I've built a minitank also, but its lightly armored for the front lines.
November 2, 200915 yr Adorably cute tank, I love the top half much more than the bottom half, as it simply gels really well especially with the comical turret. The bottom half needs smaller wheels I think and a design that fits better with the top half. Batbrick Away!
November 2, 200915 yr Very nice, I agree with the comments above about changing the wheels to something smaller if possible. Paul
November 3, 200915 yr Author Thanks. I have to say that about the only thing I'd change is get rid of the bley for complete dark red, but I don't have any dark red inverts and this was a real throw-away MOC I made to kill time and I bigger MOCs to buy parts for. The wheels were supposed to give it a cartoony feel as I was thinking of the Advance Wars sprites and the Crash Bash tank battle tanks when I built it. (wow, bumped from over a month.)
November 4, 200915 yr Well I found this looking for steampunk. Now that you mention it does look like Advance Wars. Edited November 4, 200915 yr by zouave
November 5, 200915 yr See, that's why you should have bought more Dino Attack sets. Best source of dark red I ever bought as a foolish youth. Good tank, it looks like something from an online game. Like tank wars, from maidmarian.com, is what it first reminded me of.
November 5, 200915 yr That is a pretty sweet little tank. It reminds me of this ancient computer game that my friends dad had on his laptop. I will be trying to figure out the name of this game for the rest of the day. Great MOC!
November 9, 200915 yr Author I am afraid Dino 2010 came out when I was a bit broke (and "too old" to be bought Lego) so I have like, four 1x2 dark red inverts. Thanks for the comments. I think I will have to build a rival tank in a similar style now.
