Hi everyone,

I,m new here but ïve been watching creations here a few months. Even though I don't play Brikwars I do build military vehicles which I would like to share with other people.

My first creation I post here is my (older) Brickville Union MBT called the Pandora MKII.

Image


The Pandora Mark II tank was a legendary tank in the Brickville armed forces. It combined all the aspects of the previous Pandora tanks. It had 2 main guns, 1 coaxial gun, a top gunner. It also featured a radar, smoke grenades, extra oil tanks and a new suspension system. The tank was heavy but the large and powerfull engine made it go as fast as most wwII-era battle tanks.

The front of the tank,

The back with the turret turned. This is also one of the weaker spots of the tank because the engine hatch can be penetrated with a single grenade causing the tank to explode.

The top hatch and the gunner, the gun can be controlled also when the gunner is inside the tank.

The suspension system and reactive armor plating

Side view, on the side of the turret are 3 smoke grenade launchers

Remember that this is a tank that I made a year ago, and that it's soon gonna be replaced with another model.

For now I hope you like it and suggestions are very welcome


:D

Great job on the design, looks more like a tank killer than a MBT, I like the greebling, can't wait to see it's next reincaration. Oh, and you might want to work on the pics, people tend to get agro about it at times when it's unfocused or off center.

whoah....sexy :D . seriously though, the turret is amazing, I love the two barrels, and just the overall look along with your color choice make this a very nice tank. :ftw:

but really, you need to play Brikwars :P

EDIT: the pics look fine to me, as long as I can see what I'm looking at I'm happy

This tank looks great, although I agree with RoC; it doesn't look very much like an MBT. I think it would work more as an anti-air tank, because the guns look more like flak cannons (to me). I love the design, especially the smoothness of the engine hatch. The only part I don't like is the top of the turret, it looks a bit rough and cobbley (that's now a word).

BTW, did the suspension actually work? If so, that's just ridiculous.

It does :D Thanks already for all the kind words. I didn't know this site had a community that replies so fast

And it has in fact an anti-air version of it. Including 8 guns and 2 2x2 rocket launchers.

However like the tank, it's destroyed. But when I get some free time (exam period right now) I will try to make an updated version

See, I would make that an anti-infantry variant, and have the other one as an anti-air variant. However, this is just my opinion, as I prefer single-barreled flak cannons than the four-barreled ones.

Otherwise:

:protip: Pandora was proably not the best choice of word. The moment I saw that, I thought "PEDOBELUGA RETURNS!!!"

(Ask Warhead if you have no idea who Pedonuker is.)

Now now, don't frighten away the new chap with horror stories just yet, he's only just got here.

If my first thread didn't scare me away, a passing reference to PBn(J) shouldn't faze the new one.
