Here is a tank. It is yellow. I made it. It is a tank.









I don't have a shot of the driver, because I forgot, but he's imbedded in the tank. I may make some changes so he is more accessible and I can throw a couple troopers in the back.

I am thinking of incorporating this into my U.S.A. faction, but I am not sure how that works in regards to representing other people's factions

That tank looks beautiful. You might incorporate it in the Imperial Magikstate, or build a similar one in their colours.
Where did you got the cannon and antenna pieces, btw? I can't remember, seing them in any Lego sets.

Great design!
You could use it in battle as a "rabbit" tank; to draw fire from the enemy.
It would have to be super-fast and maneuverable: both as an element of surprise, and for out running pursuing vehicles.
Suped-up engine and drive train, plus a tuned suspension would help it get out of most scrapes.
Just a few ideas to help fill your spec sheet.

Thanks! I'd love to, but I don't have access to my full collection to build one in the correct colors for them. Since they are my main faction, I'm trying to make them as streamline as possible. The only other faction I have that is close in color is my Assyrian off shoot, which I may transform into a completely different faction. The mast is from some old LEGO I inherited so I am not quite sure. The part that looks kind of like a scope is made from a broken lance piece that was also from old LEGO before my time (I am only 22). I am pretty sure the antenna is Mega Bloks or some other off shoot.

Thank you! Thats a good idea, It does have a light tank type feel. I may build a hatch in the back to make it a quick transport or almost get away tank.

Nice to add to a yellow cab batalion. Or any army or detatchment. I like it.

"Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, banana TANK!"

"Do do da do da do do"

Nice to see some more yellow tanks, I always wanted to build a rubber duckie tank myself, but couldn't get the shape right when I tried. That was a few years ago, so maybe I should have another try.

That tank is naked.

I should make the pilot naked, and if I redo the turret for a gunner he will be naked too!

Great tank!

It also painfully reminds me that I really should rebuild my own Briktopian MBTs.

This is a fun tank. Great work.
