Light Tank

So, this is my light tank for Brikwars use. As a light tank, it's meant for reconnaissance and to quickly infiltrate behind enemy lines and disrupt their movements/communications. It's not really a tank because treads are a bit expensive and I was going for the smallest, cheapest tank-thingy that still seated a minifig and looked nice. It's loosely based off the Soviet T-34.
The minifig is a normal pilot
Tank Stats:
cost: 27cp
size: 4
Armor Rating: 3d10, 2d10 for back & underside
movement: 10"
Machine Gun: size 1
(Turret) Gun: size 2

And I thought I was good at compact building.
This is brilliant, i may have to use some of the design features. What part is the ring mount for the turret?

It appears to not use one.

This looks like something the 45th union would crap out in the millions.

That's a damn good light tank.
I don't ever remember seeing that ring piece before though, which makes it all the more interesting for me.

yeah, I actually found out about it while I was looking up the parts I needed on bricklink. I originally used
these and it was a bit more cramped for the minifig.

I like the non-fussy nature of all the flat surfaces and I also like it's small size. The only thing I would change is the gun barrel, and this is just my opinion, but for guns longer than 1" stacking cylinder pieces and nothing else doesn't do a build (especially one as neat as this) justice, and instead I would normally go for giving is some kind of little detail. Having said that, this is a very "clean" thing, so perhaps a simpler gun is fine. Still a pretty build.
ALSO: While you based it on a T-34, it reminds me of a French armoured car;
