That's a huge dong. What are the measurements of it and the tank itself?

I havent taken a proper measurement of it yet, but as it stands, it is 2/3 the size of the coffee table, lol.

Man, next time I feel like I am not going anywhere with a model, I'll remember that I haven't necro'd a 5 year old thread with a model that is still a work in progress.

Joking aside though, if any model deserved to be resurrected after 5 years, this is it. I hope you get it completed and onto a battlefield. The :studgod: demands it.

Sometimes, life gets in the way of builds.

i have a little bit of progress on it, not as much as id like. the turrets are not mounted, i was tasting positions for them, but it gives an idea of armament.

I m still working on reinforcing the treads and wheels on it. As you can see, they got knocked off when i put it on the tote. I am also looking to restructure some of the sections inside. it could stand to shed a little weight. only half way done and already too heavy for the wheel connections to hold up for long. eh, i guess i took "built like a tank" a little too literally, lol

Have axles running through the wheels rather than using 3L Technic pins. Connect those axles to a brick structure on the outside of the tracks that itself connects back to the main body of the tank. That will better distribute the weight of the tank.

That is something that i was looking into. still trying to decide on the armor around the tracks and how to connect it all. i will get there, just need a little time to mess around with it. Thankfully, I have some time of next week, taking some of my vacation time to get an extra day off for Thanksgiving. Between this weekend and the Thanksgiving holiday, I should be able to make some progress, I hope, lol.
