s0d3rb3rg Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Looking nice, but you should add some more teal to it. Also, try making a motorized drill, that'd be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took off all the teal after Cirevam told me it was for highlights. I may do that later (motorize) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I just took off all the teal after Cirevam told me it was for highlights. You know you don't have to take everything I say as gospel. Still, this tank looks very good. It's a definite improvement over both. I don't mind the length too much. I feel like it would look better with the lights that were on the sides of the previous drill tanks, but you already have mounts for them so it would be a snap to put them on.

Addictgamer Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 It feels unbalanced to me. Otherwise, it is an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol username Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Looks good. Liking the solid feel. Though... A bit too close for comfort. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aLPHA Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 The power failure wimpy-spinner has knobby-doos sticking out all over it. Your drill tank is very streamline and could really drill through tunnels like a TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine). I built a lego TBM once that as you pushed it forward the front "shield" spun and if you put small pieces in front of it it gobbled them up and used a conveyor belt to spit them out the back. That thing took me a week to build but I dropped it off my desk and said doh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minifig9292 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Reminds me of this huge 13 (including driver) minifig APC I made. The thing was sturdy as hell and had a similar shape. Too bad I scraped it for a couple bits for this huge RR uber drill/lazer thing I'm making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUDZ Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Looks good. Liking the solid feel. Though... A bit too close for comfort. Too true; it does vaguely resemble the PM Thunder Driller (The most decent PM set to own, in my opinion). This is the first time I've bothered to see seen the Drill Tank, but... shouldn't a tank have treads? Anyways, I like the design of it, following the LRR color scheme. Maybe I should make a PM version, just for my blog (the PM's bought blueprints of the RR's prototype vehicles)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 This is the first time I've bothered to BE SHORT seen the Drill Tank, but... shouldn't a tank have treads? I asked Cirevam. he said they were overused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUDZ Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Not really; I only have ONE SET of big treads for LEGO (from a Mars Mission set), and a TON of big wheels (From A TON of PM sets). But... you're right. they are overused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McJobless Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Omg lair of worms , whyd youy use the tank against the poor power miner monster in stead of using it to destroy LRR rock monsters! EXACTLY!

Lair Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Omg lair of worms , whyd youy use the tank against the poor power miner monster in stead of using it to destroy LRR rock monsters! You're right. I should be fighting off Those nasty old Ice Monsters or swarms of slugs, instead of using my powerfull laser cannons on these poor, pathetic Power Miner Monsters who can't do anything but fart and vibrate and have no way of protecting themselves.

Glaedr Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 That's pretty amazing. Reminds me of an IRL tunnel bore combined with a Chrome Crusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoctor Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 That's pretty amazing. Reminds me of an IRL tunnel bore combined with a Chrome Crusher Considering that this is what a real tunnel bore looks like, yeah. Pretty much. Massive drill attached to what's basically a train on wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaedr Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 AHA- I knew this reminded me of SOMETHING. And I finally remembered what that something is. One of the older Command and Conquer games, Tiberian Sun, had a "Subterranean APC", roughly the same size/shape as this, but on tracks instead of wheels. The similarities make this all the cooler imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
