Super Leopard Mk-XI Grav Tank

The challenge: build any kind of hover tank without using a tank kit's hull or turret - because nothing saus 'fun' like 70 tons of floating mayhem.

Super Leopard Mk-XI Grav Tank

A little something I did a few months ago. It's on my Facebook art page "The Blaposphere". The page is public so anyone should be able to view it.

What a beautiful and clean design. Very nice, though I spotted the AT-AT face parts as vents, I felt the whole thing seemed completley orginal. Nice work Blappy

Happy New Year

The AT-AT parts were my nod to the ILM guys and their use of greeblies. Now their designs are greeblies! ;)

I wanted to make a TRON/Battle Zone looking tank since I was a kid. So I finally did it!
