Awesome, very nice job, specifically the turret.

Did you ever build this on LDD? I'd definitely buy it, no matter what the cost. I only like BrickLink when you are buying in bulk. That's why I've never bought from there! ;^)

Hmmm. the car is awesome, especially the wheel well. thats awesome. (and the turret, yesyes; but everyone keeps saying that)
But one thing, it just seems a little boxy, any ways you can change that?

Most military vehicles are.

...Jeep, Humvee, Abrams...Need I say more on box?

Im looking through my parts, I may have enough to actually join in on this little armored car contest. Though lol I shall probably copy everything EXCEPT the turret. The Turret..I'd like to make...bigger...

Also, Natayla, that white flat piece on the back of your Car looks severely chewed on.
I do mean severely.

Perhaps so, but can it fit through a doorway?

You deleted your post. Aww.

Yeah. Figured the Tank Snobs would change their tunes and designate mine a Tank. Besides, it wasn't really a good comparison. If mine had six fewer wheels and fifteen fewer cubic feet, maybe.

ElManifico, I have no idea what your talking about. Mind informing me?

Also, I actually built this sucker! Yea I deviate from the main design <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a>, but I still thank tunasailor for such a perfect idea.

Pic's will be up soon. And as I said, I'd make the turret bigger, and I did.
This thing officially became a tank hunter.

*Edit* And Here it is, The "Leopard"
Im naming it the Leopard by the way because it WAS tunasailor's design I incorporated, so I will pay homeage to his naming of "Jaguar" with another type of cult.

Unlike the Jaguar or the Assyrian Jaguar, The Leopard does not incorporate rocket pods to help deter enemy armor. Instead, it is a tank hunter, packing an impressive Laser cannon that has 360 degrees of fire, making the rocket pods obsolete with their limited range of fire. With such a demand of energy needed to fire the gun though, a battery was placed on the rear of the Leopard. Though if the cannon was removed, a spare tire could easily be placed in its stead.

Its armor is thicker than either variant, though it incorporate designs of both. For starts, it uses a hatch like the Assyrian Jaguar, yet it has the rear mounted gun similar to the original Jaguar. Unlike both however, it has an armored engine, armored sides, and two repeating laser cannons mounted forward, similar to most other vehicles this baby shall be fighting along side.

As you can see, I still had to change up how the turret works. The Orig. Jaguar's turret required a design change I didn't quite have a desire to do. So I made it more of a flat bed. This does also make it very easy for the rear section to be replace with unmanned turrets..anti air guns...anti infantry guns...anything that can fit on there. Very Modular =D

So, there, throwing my "Jaguar" in there with the rest of yalls.

Well yes i guess most military vehicles are pretty boxy. but it seems to me that one or two places of slight angles woulds hurt, yah know? but its still an awesome vehicle...

Wow gunney, Sorry I didn't see it but it is awesome, love how you put a giant laser cannon and nice changes with those parts on the sides, they make it look futuristic.
