In other news, I finished another tank a few days ago, after discovering a missing wheel from my Lego City 7284 digger's tracks. It's quite big and very yellow - imagine a KV2 turret* on a B1 chassis**. In yellow.

Thanks guys, one day I'll have to look up this metal slug thing that I seem to be unintentionally parodying, and it's nice that people like legofighter are discovering this thread through the updates.BFenix wrote:Zahru II wrote:Looks nice and metal sluggish!
Thanks, but to be honest, I just slap on the "greeble" pieces wherever I don't have a flat plate that I would normally put there, although at the same time it's all about having as many SNOTty surfaces as possible, rather than just having the flat sides of bricks everywhere, which just looks a bit plain. The greeble clusterfuck is actually quite useful for gameplay, because when the tank takes some damage, you can represent it on the model by messing up/ removing the "greebles", which is a lot easier than removing some structurally integral bricks to create a hole.Bluefog wrote:You are a greebling master.

I totally have been ogling over your MOCs and have not read a bit of your back stories. I haven't had the time, yet.ikensall wrote:It's somewhat reassuring that at least one person read at least half-way down the crappy backstory paragraph.

I haven't decided yet if it's a capitalist or a communist tank.... I guess it looks a bit like a KV2, so it's glorious in that respect.
Don't worry, if everyone who came into this thread decided to read the crappy backstory then most of them would give up before scrolling down to the builds. Oh and thanks, I tried to make them a bit more original by building in a slightly more exotic theme (I honestly doubt if I could build anything decent in a space theme any more, but whatever, I don't go in for all that mainstream stuff).Phred wrote:I totally have been ogling over your MOCs and have not read a bit of your back stories.

I do have to say though, I really like your MOCs you've shared so far. I really like this diesel punk theme you've been creating.
I tried to think of a reason for tanks requiring a certain degree of colour scheme, but really I think we all know we're kidding ourselves by trying to avoid a in our builds. This has, is and always will be the true colour scheme of a pure and righteous Lego Death machine. But for now, yellow will have to do.
