This model uses snot construction on the sides to achieve the correct profile of this upgraded WWI tank. The tracks are supported by many Technic spur gears and are functional. Indy's whip was softened in hot water and then stretched to to the extended position. Custom decals capture the prototype's markings for the Republic of Hatay
Not everything that ended up in orbital scrapyards was totally broken down. Some larger pieces, such as this fuel tank, were stored, sold and reused. Here we see a pair of pods towing a module into the storage area.

This abandoned water tank is a reminder of a small railroad that once served the strip mines in Knox County, IL...the Galesburg & Great Eastern Railroad.

Here's a reference to how I did the armor. I know there is probably an easier way to install this, but I make this overly complicated sometimes so, this is for who want to create something like this. You may use it for reference.

Here's my Scorpion Tank build from the Halo series.
It's design is a mixture of the ones featured in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach.
Its features:
- A 360° rotatable main cannon that can be angled up to vertical.
- 4 independently movable track sections with suspension.
- A movable front mounted machine gun.
- Access to the inside driver position, via a hatch behind the machine gun.
www.flickr.com/photos/origin-of-the-brick/5105836667 was my inspiration for this build.
More Halo builds to come soon!

Shown to the left is the very first Tongorian tank, Tank Fortyi, made by Lesnoyova Vagonzavod. Its only prototype was made back in 1918, however it wasn't liked generally, the mobility was unsufficient and proved to be top heavy but the front armor of 30mm and the heavy armament of a 130mm naval gun, dual 6 pounders on the front and a unique way of mounting of the side 40mm guns in turrets turned sideways rather than sponsons were proved to be really good so the reasearch continued for a better tank.
The second tank was a joint project with another company, Proryv Avto starting in 1921. They were the first company to shift to the turret idea rather than casemate guns, hence the layout of the second tank. They tried to solve the problem with mobility by changine the engine out for a more powerful one. This made it slightly better but after the side armor upgrade, the original protection proved to be too weak, it handled even worse than the original tank. One feature though, the Proryv Avto turret with the 6 pounder gun and a coaxial machine gun in it really caught the eyes of the generals.
After all the fails in the life of Tank Forti, all funding was halted on it and the heavy tank project was handed over to Proryv Avto, but Leasnoyova Vagonzavod still continued working on other unusual tank designs, with the Netopyr being their biggest tank. The results of this change were the PA-1 and PA-2 tanks in 1923 and a brand new tank, the PA-3 which is shown here. It is said to be their best tank so far. Overall it isn't as long as its predecessors as the sponsons mounting the 40mm guns were removed. This also means a huge reduction in weight (31 tons) and materials while the engine remained the same 320hp one. Due to this simple modification the armor could be slightly increased, 55mm on the front, 35mm on the sides and rear.
The turret is the one used on the Tank Fortyi II mounting the 6 pounder tank gun which has better anti-tank capability than the PA-1's 76mm gun. The tank also has some other machine guns, one next to the driver and one on each side under the turret looking forward.
4th wall: The grey ones were fun to build and play around with some angles, but the one I really wanted t oshow you guys is the PA-3, the one on the right, it just looks os good in my opinion.

This tank, featured in my most recent MOC, is inspired by the tank featuring in Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade. In the movie the tank is owned and operated by the Republic of Hatay in Turkey and is therefore referred to as the “Hatay Heavy Tank”. From what I found the design is based on the real-life British Mark VII and Mark VIII tanks from late WWI, with the main turret mount on top being the major difference. In the movie this platform doesn’t appear to be able rotate, but this is a feature I wanted to add. I have no idea whether this is “historically accurate” or not. I spent hours looking at various reference pictures from the movie, and other non-LEGO models to get a good sense of the scale of the model. I found some very interesting articles detailing the different features and characteristics of the tank.
I decided a long time ago that I wanted to build this, and the intention was always to use dark tan. My starting point was the part of the tank called the sponsons, with a gun-mount on each flank. After getting those right, I built the “side-panels” with the tank treads mostly using the SNOT technique. The tank treads sit in perfectly in place but are not mechanized. With the way I built the model, this should be possible to achieve, so I might go back to it someday. The tank treads can actually move though. Both side panels attach to a middle section that is fully detailed on top and underneath, but with no interior. The middle section with where the cloth-piece and dynamite sit isn’t attached to anything. It is held in place by some slopes, and can simply be lifted off. Building an interior is also possible, but I didn’t feel it necessary to do. The gun mount on top of the tank does, however, fit one minifig, as you can see it other pictures. The model isn’t 100% accurate to the Hatay Heavy Tank from Indiana Jones, but this was never my intention either. Building this tank was an extremely fun challenge and process, as it’s completely different to what I usually do. The result is a lot better than how I expected it to be, when I started.
This is a piece that was done for commission. I am pleased with the final product. The buyer will not get the figs, and he will be using light bluish-gray tank treads instead of black. Should look sharp.
I've never built a Tank and this is my first, this is the perfect Tank for my SG soldiers. I'm happy for this first result.
Redesigned version of the Republic Fighter Tank. More organic looking, beefier engines for speed, better cockpit visibility. I've kept the épée parts as antennas from set 75342 but angled them back. More pictures to follow.

This tank was created specifically for use in the regions with really low temperature. Blizzards are no problem for this one, 'cause it is eqipped with a wide variety of sesors and radars. Also it's capable of carrying a small radio-controlled robotic rover (tanks front section opens serving as a hatch for it) and eleven soldiers countig a driver.
Hopefully I'll be able to upload more images of it soon to show all the functions.

There is a BCOL GE trailing the clean leader but you can't tell from this angle. This unit oil train is headed for a meet with an opposing northbound at Murry. The late day shadows are getting long and there is just enough color remaining to make things interesting. October 15, 2018.
I needed to run some wires from the dash to behind the seat so off came the fuel tank. Was actually easier than I expected to get it on and off. Even more surprising was that I didn’t blow up the bike afterwards 😊 It even runs 😊
