Hover Tank

[markus the tool breaker]

I started to build the new Academy Magach 6B and decided to see if I could really do something
different with the turret,so I have started to scratchbuild a body and kitbash some lifter units from
a type 74 hover truck

 

[Junkie]

Cool. Looking forward to seeing this come together.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Yeah good idea!

 

[nicholassagan]

Oh what fun!

 

[Grendels]

I will be watching this!

I got the body roughed out and the hover units put together. Now I have to work out how to
mount them to the body. your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

I'd have those engines / thrusters much closer to the hull. Like, 1/2 under the hull, have over the edge. Tighten it up.

Concept and work on this is fantastic man. Keep at it.

Yeah, more like the Dolorean's hover wheels...

I agree, with them so far out they are a good target for an enemy to take out.

Sorry, but from what model these hover engines?

 

[cargoman5126]

Luv'n the concept, great work so far...

Thank for the feedback guys. I just have the hover units placed next to he body to show
the concept. I plan on mounting them closer and lower on the body.

malish85: The hover units come from the Bandai kit E.F.G.F.MSG PLATOON BRIEFING SET, the
vehicle in the kit is a M353A4 hover truck. I don't think I"ll get much done over the next few days
things are kind of crazy.

 

[malish85]

I find the model. Thanks a lot.

I got to do l little more work on the wee beasty and it seems to be coming together.
I tried to mount the hover unit a little farther under the body but it looked as if it was getting
too tall. I made up a new barrel for it what do you think?

 

[Junkie]

Looks cool.

 

[Quaralane]

Definitely looking good

 

[Drpepeprz]

Very cool! ;D

 

[markus the tool breaker]

Mounted the new barrel. Sweet ;D
