Here is my futuristic tank. This is probably my favourite creation yet.





Here are some of my republic troops with the tank pilot.



Here is a rear view with the back hatch open. It can hold up to three minifigs and the top of the tank can be easily removed to access the cockpit.



This little storage compartment is one of my favourite features. There is one on either side.

Please comment on what you like, dislike or would like to see. Thanks. :)

Hold on, still looking for my jaw...I dropped it here somewhere...

Seriously, the excellent use of sand-blue and bley as well as the clever weapons compartment makes me drool (or rather, WILL, as soon as I find my jaw...ah, here we go...*click!*)

Fantastic tank! Can't wait to see more! And excellent use of your Dad's light box!

While I have little to add in regards to the exceptional building and picture-taking skills that are evident in this MOC that haven't been said, what I new accolade I can contribute is this: excellent use of color! All of my MOC work is color-coordinated as well, and having the color scheme of your vehicle and figs match really gives an added touch of cohesion to your work.

Beautiful job!

Nice tank, I love the hatch. Nice figs aswell, are you going to put them in there own thread? I'd like to see better pictures of them.

You're good Kid, real good, but as long as I'm around you'll always be second best, shee?

Sweet! Every thing is smooth and futuristic, and the lighting is perfect! I also love the compartment feature.

Wow! Great job Exo! I love the storage compartments!

Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't allow our enemies to have guns, why should we allow them to have ideas?

Whoa! Truly fantastic work! The tank has a certain artistic, anime feel to it, which seems very professional. The only thing that bugs me about this tank is the use of old gray and new gray together, though that could easily be explained as being part of the paint scheme. Also, the accompanying soldiers look very nice, as well; the one with the samurai armor (a pilot?) is my favorite of the lot.

Again, fantastic work!

Oh, wow. I just realized that there was 3 guns in there instead of just a M4.
Again, Great job Exotrater!

Is that a silver M4? I need to get one of those for me because that just adds to the effect. Awesome job!

I'm so glad everyone likes it! :) As you can see I'm too lazy to separate the bley(new grey) old from the old grey but I don't think it matters much. I will post a thread for my republic troops(3 of them are shown in these pictures) very soon and I will have to go search for some more sand blue pieces for a matching tank or vehicle. My second tank will be posted today sometime. Thanks again so much for your awesome comments! 8)
And your gonna have to try and imagine those soldiers with pulse rifles and futuristic guns from mold #3 because I currently do not own any futuristic brickarms so those were the best I got. 8(

Ah one moment please, while I wipe up the drool.... okay, exotrator, that is just very impressive. I love the design, the color scheme and the minifigs. When you built this did you have a definite plan already or was it, okay this piece goes here and hey this would look pretty good over here?

Are you sure you don't work for Lego as a set designer? ;0)
