Nom Carver Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 "After multiple reports of rebel activity on the surface of Tatooine and the capture of a smuggler trying to transport supplies to them, we managed to obtain enough intel to locate and destroy one of their main encampments on the planet, without their supplies they didnt stand a chance against our armored vehicles" IMG_2674 por Nom Carver, en Flickr "Once the rebels have been defeated, we gathered all their equipment and proceed to heal the wounded to prepare them for the interrogation process" IMG_2724 por Nom Carver, en Flickr And here are a couple of pics of the tank, you can see more pictures on flickr, and for those that never heard about this vehicle here is a reference: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TX-130T_fighter_tank IMG_2625 por Nom Carver, en Flickr IMG_2652 por Nom Carver, en Flickr IMG_2664 por Nom Carver, en Flickr I hope you liked it, and yes, I want this one to count too , sorry for my lack of photography skills Quote
Wedge09 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Nice :thumbup: I like in particular the tank Quote
jmagaletta Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 The Tank looks great. Better than tlg version Quote
Brickdoctor Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Continuing to improve. Sand looks better now that it's not flat; I think the only thing it's missing is some smaller 1x1 and 1x2 plates randomly placed around the mini dunes to smooth things out. Same with the ruins; they're only missing some smaller bits to finish off the look. I like the tank, too, though I would try something a bit more angular, less curved in the middle cabin area. Quote
TWP Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Nice work on the tank! I can see some integrated TLG techniques in this version, so I assume you did some research! Quote
Nom Carver Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 Thanks to you all, I did check out the instructions on brickset and downloaded a couple reference pics, it's 15 % (or so) smaller than the official version but I do feel like it does look better despite it has no other function than the rear acces door (which doesn't matter since all my sets are only for display purposes).

Tariq j Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Brilliant work Nom carver I like the tank alot! Quote
CMP Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Excellent tank, though you may want to throw some tan on it to represent dust or such to add some color. Reminds me of those used in Empire at War. Quote
MKJoshA Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Reminds of the tanks in the Battlefront games. Nice job! Quote
Nom Carver Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 Reminds of the tanks in the Battlefront games. Nice job! Thats the one that I mean. Quote
Mr Man Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Miles better than TLG version, but doesn't the IFT-T have a turret on top? Reminds me of those used in Empire at War. That's the 2M, this tanks successor. Quote
Chills Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Great scene! I also really like the tank, it looks great attacking the Rebels. Quote
Nom Carver Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 The tank is the star of the build, the scene is almost secondary, I had to disassemble it for my challenge entry. Miles better than TLG version, but doesn't the IFT-T have a turret on top? That's the 2M, this tanks successor. Yes but I had to remove that feature in order to fit a driver inside. Quote
