Let me be the first to say: awesome.

How many figs can it hold?
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

I don't know.

Dang... my APC is completely emasculated by your tank. Fantastic work, Silent-sigfig.

This is extremely well built Silent-sigfig, just wondering how long some thing like this took and how much it cost because I want to try and make some tanks like this.

This is indeed an awesome tank, Silent is natural like that when it comes to building tanks. Yet, I think the turret could use some work, seems a bit small to have so much gear in it, don't you think?

meh.. and thats mainly because everything is off just a tad. The turret is so far forward it give the impression of a T-type tank but then the body. The gas tanks are a nice tough only they are a tab bit to small in comparison to the rest of the body. The turret is also to small or how its being used and it just looks bad on that massive tank body. I think its a good WIP but that is all a WIP I personally would go back to the drawing board on this one (black one looks pretty good but might extend the body a smidgen) Hope you don't take this criticism personally it is not meant so.
Been here longer then pretty much all of you or some shit.

I was shooting for an awkward soviet-style tank look with this' but I do think it needs a bigger turret. Thanks for the criticism.

Oh, and it took about two hours of work, with one picture of a 45th union gladiator MBT as inspiration..

Silent, the Tank looks great and the soviet theme worked great.

Awesome job for a 2 hour build.

Thanks. I was surprised that it was on the same scale as the Diplomat.

It's not a million miles from the looks of the early British Matilda Tanks used at the start of WWII. (They also lend leased them to Russia). Again, yours is much more modern that this though.
