Fixed the thread prefix for you. If you could get a couple of clearer pics of the WIP, it might spur some feedback. Right now, it's hard to tell what's happening.

Best of luck.

Looks like its going to be sick man can't wait to see a finish product. I agree with Joe Moore you should put some new pics

englishw 04-03-2012 04:55 PM

Yes, new pics. Maybe use a flash or try to get a little better lighting. That should help with images being blurry.

Looks like an awesome start. Fun project!

JaredFragd3111 04-04-2012 05:41 PM

im going to load new pics tonight, it wont have th claws on it because they looked like baby claws after i got it all mocked up so i have to redesign some more. I think i got the back hatch figured out but need some feed back on if it looks ok.

JaredFragd3111 04-04-2012 10:18 PM

ok, here are some better pics, as i said befor the back is not set in stone, the blue thrusters will have lights in them,. and the mouth has lights as well. the black thruster are only for show,.and advice or critiques are welcomed before it is fiberglassed. :)

is this built from scratch or a mod of the original toy?

JaredFragd3111 04-07-2012 10:34 PM

it started out a mod, but has quickly become a scratch item, you have tro rememberthe original toys was only what 10 inches long and 6 inches wide maybe, this is 18 inches long and 11 inches wide. just when i think i have it i have to start all over again.

southpawdragon 04-08-2012 03:44 AM

great job so far then ..:)

what did you use for the tank treads?

JaredFragd3111 04-08-2012 08:31 PM

its actually a robot base system from lynxmotion.. the whole back section is the track system, thats how its will be remote controlled. see the links for info, if you click on teh deminsions tab at the bottom, it will show you how biug they are and it might put in perpective how big the tank is.. You got any suggestions or somthing you think could be better'?

ecmagee1984 04-08-2012 11:51 PM

Kregermeister 05-06-2012 08:40 PM

Ah that's what I thought, thank you! I was gunna get a set but their not as accurate as I'd like. I suspected that they were Actually car belts turned inside out, does that seem to be right? Either way I'm excited to see this completed! The old ljn remote control tank was cool but this is boss!
