Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 5:48 pm Post subject: Hover Tank *UPDATE* Version 3 is now in |
|
|
*PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES*
It's big, it's mean, and it's a floating machine!
That's right, my hover fleet has gained a tank! (At the expense of the car)
The turret's a little out of proportion with the body, but other than that I'm really happy with it.
The rear of this plastic monster (This is huge for me)
The multi-fanned underside
Skirt detail
Skirt detail
The interior (you can bet this will be updated)
That's all I've got for now. Please let me know what you think, and what could be improved. I'd be happy to take ideas for the turret's interior!
Thanks for stopping by, and check out my photostream for more! _________________ Raptor Fun Fact #73- The raptor's natural enemy is the gas-powered internal combustion off-road vehicle, which is made of evil.

Good work. Only things I can see that need changing is the brown on the sides and the cup/chalice in the front. _________________ Oh, signatures are so over rated. =D

The brown is supposed to be there. It's baggage, ammunition, etc. lashed onto the tank's skirts. As for the main gun, work will commence soon. Do you have any suggestions? _________________ Raptor Fun Fact #73- The raptor's natural enemy is the gas-powered internal combustion off-road vehicle, which is made of evil.

Just take that cup off and add on another of the bley tube pieces that you have the barrel made of. _________________ Oh, signatures are so over rated. =D

I think it looks too tall, but I really don't have much of a suggestion for you. I would either a) take off some from the sides to flatten it, or b) add more to the sides to make it wider. _________________

Add Vents for air to flow through the fans?

@Zombie Alita That's one way to look at it But how would you suggest adding air intakes?
@Zombie Dragon What exactly do you mean? It's not the turret's width that's the problem. it's the height.
@Zombie Fett I've already replaced the main cannon. I've opted for the more popular Railgun design. _________________ Raptor Fun Fact #73- The raptor's natural enemy is the gas-powered internal combustion off-road vehicle, which is made of evil.

Larger tank bed top side intakes with grilles. But nevermind, maglev or other anti-grav drives don't need intakes.
(Plz post in BCS for your complimentary "nom") _________________

Bah, do you think I'm that gullible?
So a sort of raised section, possibly composed of slopes and grilles, added onto the skirts? _________________ Raptor Fun Fact #73- The raptor's natural enemy is the gas-powered internal combustion off-road vehicle, which is made of evil.

I'm almost tempted to take that complimentary 'nom'. Survivors have been doing awful lately...
Anywho, you people came to see the lovely version two of my plastic box.
The air intakes are awful, but I'll be looking for a way to change them in the future.

There you have it, Version Two of my beloved hover tank. Hope this one's considered an improvement. Please tell me what you think, and thanks for stopping by! _________________ Raptor Fun Fact #73- The raptor's natural enemy is the gas-powered internal combustion off-road vehicle, which is made of evil.

Well, I had meant that I thought the whole thing was too tall, the turret looked fine to me. It still looks a little tall for me. _________________

I'm afraid there's not much I can do about the height without completely overhauling the MOC. _________________ Raptor Fun Fact #73- The raptor's natural enemy is the gas-powered internal combustion off-road vehicle, which is made of evil.

Neat tank, although indeed somewhat chibi-looking..
I like the greebling, it's - as usual with your MOCs - rich and detailed. Messy, could someone say, but I like the style.
The tank would indeed look better if it was lower, but if that's impossible to execute, I'd suggest making the body longer, perhaps even a bit wider. The turret could be placed more to the center top of the main body, too, rather than in the front.
Thus it wouldn't resemble a duck that much..  _________________ Brickshelf|Majhost.com

The duck look is to pave the way for my 'Mallard Disguise' version.
I just might try elongating it after all the requests that have been made for it. _________________ Raptor Fun Fact #73- The raptor's natural enemy is the gas-powered internal combustion off-road vehicle, which is made of evil.
