found it^^




threads name is one papercraft motor pool or sumethin`^^

Thanks Vik, and yeah, I think that was supposed to have been a Leviathan class command HQ you are thinking of.

Mad4: I have several cans of beans and such, dried beans and rice even, no real weapons as yet, but then again, as I may not be happy with such sad events unfolding, they are all a part of the "birthing process" that our species is going through, so fear is one thing I have learned is not necessary.
Each will have their own internal struggle, it will be very personal. As for the mass hysteria that will come, therein lay the issue most have, but that is a discussion for a totally different thread.

Meanwhile, here is a Crack Suicide Squad Tank!

even that pic is political...as it bears the red star of the commie russians^^

Just the flavor of the era the tank comes from Vik. T-34/85 it is.

was just foolin`around^^

No fear about it, simple preparation. Im an avid shooter, so keeping ammo around is just a common thing. Food, water, med supplies...also a good idea, as I live in a hurricane prone area. What Katrina did to New Orleans is a good example of what can happen. Id rather be prepared than be one of those scrambling about after the fact trying to figure out what to do and how they are gonna survive.

Vik: LOL!

Mad4: But there will be those who will let their fear overtake them. These are the ones you will likely meet, but hunting will also be needed if that collapse happens. It is good to have some food supplies ready just in case.


Megatrontank!

nice treads...is threre a bigger pic around?

Loving the tanks!

Still looking for bigger shots, the treads look like true rock grinders!
This tank, it floats and I keep thinking "Exterminaaaaaate!" when I see it.

lol... someone is deliberatly trying to avoid showing better pics from the megatrontank^^

that floating...er...skyscraper is supposed to be a tank???well that is streching the term so much as making a loop^^

but since we are in the middle of oddball tans discusion again i think we left out the very beginning of the tank discussion...

i say only one name:

leonardo da vinci:






well this is a true beauty, isn´t it?

LOL! I kept getting the broken pic icon after using the usual pattern to leave it.

Ah, the original 'turtle" a tank that was manpowered for it's mobility as well as it;s firepower.


Got it!

More of it!

holy gak... a freaking chainsaw tank...what IS that??? is it really from the transformers movie?

That is what Megatron was supposed to look like in public

*gulp*

Yeah, that would have torn up pavement, and any person or cars it rolled over!~

cool tank , looks scary! and nice da vinci tank Vik

to be honest i have somehow played around in my head with a design to honor da vinci´s work for my army... any thoughts? would that work for my steamy soldiers as some kind of chimera stand in?

Well, this is as appropriate a beast as I could find, and the largest pic I could find Vik.

Still seems to "fit" your army quite well.

So, a Russ?

what i still don´t comprehend there are doors in the treadssection...how does this work... i mean all 40k tanks does have that too... do the wheels of the tanks be very small? or how does that work?

They didn't have very good (Or any, really) shock absorbers. No springs. So as long as one of the wheels is a sprocket drive wheel, the treads just roll along the outside. And yes, tiny wheels.

The old MK series tanks had even smaller wheels than those!
Small heavy wheels spaced apart every six or so inches, small but heavy wheels, like many shot-puts. The upper sections could be just slide/glide rails. But the Big wheels would be the drive/sprockets, the small wheels merely to help with the movement.

This pic shows the smaller wheels on the lower areas as the "strips" are where the wheels are mounted on the tank

Crew in urban camo, and the treads smeared with liquid mud residue, (watery Graveyard Earth)

Out for a spin

Lit up more

Nice work!

Thanks! More pics to follow.

holy gak... literally as the tank seems covered in this substance in quite a good watered down amount!

interior looks full of details you did very well on...lots of diameters and stuff...am i right and the steering guy is wielding a powerfist when on seeringduty?...whoa that would lead to some heavy turns i guess^^...

looking forward to more of this inspiring work of yours...

vik

Looking at pics of tanks that have "forded" rivers and mud pits, I figured to make it look just as "dirty" as possible.

Lot's of dials and buttons and switches and screens.

Gotta load the pics to add here.
