Battle Tank (Inspired by Laval's Royal Fighter)

Thank you all for waiting for a new post from this blog. It has been about three months since my last post. Thankfully,all of the school work is done, and my vacation began. We are really thankful to have awesome viewers like you who never lost faith in this blog no matter what situation. This blog has surpassed 4,000 views, and that is another achievement we are thankful for. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Here is a small model for now, and I plan to do something a bit bigger later on, so stay tuned.

I was inspired by Laval's Royal Fighter from the LEGO Legends of Chima theme, that I wanted to make my own tank-like vehicle. Of course this is way smaller, but what was most inspiring was the treads, and the turret on top.

The Turret can rotate a full 360 degrees, and has a spinning machine gun. 

There is room in the cockpit for a minifigure, and space in the center section for any supplies or materials

Disassembling the model a bit reveals the gears inside the turret, and the treads that allow the machine gun to move as the vehicle moves on the ground.
This vehicle over all is a nice solid and strong vehicle, and might go well with my white vehicle collection (You might remember a previous post).

Thank you all again for waiting very patiently. I know this may have been hard for others, but I'm glad to have came back for more awesome models.
