The GX-C gunship made by the shipbuilder company Baxis is one of the best-selling gunships on the market. This is mostly because of it's second function as a heavy starfighter but also because of it's unique large-capacity missile launching system.
This is my first nnenn-scale MOC. It's a nice scale to build in, much fun. I also finally got some black posterboard, although I'm not experienced at all in taking pictures against black, so they came out a little bleached.
Full gallery.

I think those stats only apply to non-Mexicans.

Whoa to the amount of missiles that piece of junk can hold!

It may look better with the missile launcher removed and the missiles put somewhere else. They need to blend in a bit more to show the rest of the MOC at its best. But the rest of the ship is awesome -- I especially love the way you used that piece in the nose.

nnenn is a sort of legend among LEGO builders both for the quantity and innovative nature of his space MOCs. Nnenn-scale is a scale where minifigs are represented by 1X1X1 cylinders with yellow 1X1 round studs for heads. His gallery may be found
here.

You're welcome.
This may be of particular interest to the members of this forum. The tanks need to be a bit bigger (~2X as large, I'd say) to reach their full coolness potential, but it looks fun.

I'm not so concerned with it. A lot of the "cut" pieces are really pneumatic tubing, which I as a moderate purist find acceptable. I'm writing more extensive rules for this as soon as I get pieces to build the tanks, and then I'll make a micro-tank forum battle.
EDIT:
My tank wars beta rules are up!
