hello, today i wanted to show the second scrap tank that i made, the wheelbase is just a modified wheelbase of the previous scrap tank as i imagine it could be made from similar found pieces

the main reason why i wanted to make this tank tho was just to goof around with the wierd driver-behind-turret setup, i thought a scrap theme would be fitting

this time, while the majority of the plates on the tank still are 10mm, some reach 15mm and the stacked plates on the right front plate allow for 50mm of armor!

the cannon has 70mm of penetration, what suffered greately tho was the ammo amount in the tank, as its a rarer (i imagine) armament theres only 28 rounds (instead of the 150 rounds in the previous tank), but i guess i should add more ammo in the next variants...

even tho this is a very goofy design, i did think of how it could be actually constructed while i was making it

now that i think about it, this tank could really benefit from some additional lights or smt

hello, today i want to show my ultracheap mbt thing, its a similar idea to the ultracheap light tanks but mbt version, and also this isnt meant to be a part of any of my factions, even tho i do have simple lore for it, it doesnt really fit into my other stuff sadly (so far at least)

so this is meant to be a very cheap mbt made by a poorer nation with ambitions of making their own tank, its a design developed from the late 40s to the early 50s, hence the addition of the rangefinder, its also supposted to have a autoloader similar to the t22e1 for the default choice gun.
the tank itself rolled out in 1952 (or whatever year equivalent it would be in its world) and i imagine it could be a succesfull little tank on the market, even tho it has some wierd stuff like the experimental high rpm propably-not-reliable engine that i imagine would be replaced the second someone bought it

i really like how it turned out, the tank itself costs like half the price of my previous mbt, it has a really decent veritcal stabiliser, i will be experimenting with horisontal one aswell in further variants.
the 4 wheel setup is a thing i also really like, dont see much mbts with those, and the suspension itself is pretty smooth.
when i made the rear turret plate i didnt really think much more of it than just a thing allowing the gun to be replaced, but after that i realised it could be a perfect in-lore thing for easy turret extensions, and im still shocked that this small turret can fit a 120mm with pretty decent movement (like -8 +23)

even tho it did turn out a bit eastern looking, the detail on the turret is purely based off of the leopard 1, and the hull just kinda turned out like this since its a simple shape with also a simple trackbase, the fenders beingreally the only thing that were conciously based off of soviet tanks, but i do plan on the future upgrades being more western than eastern looking, but i might mix between

the tank looks kinda like a smol t-44 from the front, and the turret looks kinda like a welded version of the is-3, speaking of, i really like how the turret turned out with the angled front roof and the whole front part

tank name: "ptb-52" (podstawowy tank bojowy, kinda mix of polish and english cuz why not, translates roughly to mbt yk)
cost: 21,50k sprockeroonies fully loaded
weight: 18,34t
the default choice 90mm has 185mm of pen, which i guess isnt bad for a tonk like this
the frontal effective armor ranges from about 100mm to about 220mm
the engine is a very tiny 1.0L v4 4500 rpm
the top speed is 51,31 km/h

also, i know that this is basically a light tank, but i really like the idea of it being used as a mbt, and i guess with enough upgrades i could make it look more mbt-ish

i dont make much mbts so i wanted to make one that i could just keep upgrading if needed
so far theres only 3 variants, and the tank itself turned out looking a lot more soviet than i initially planned, i like it a lot tho

it has pretty good mobility, gun, armor, it has 5 crew (driver, gunner, loader, commander, radio operator)

second variant improvements:
-uparmored mantlet plate to 40mm
-added extra turret armor plates (40mm)
-better stabiliser
-added 15mm roof mg

third variant improvements:
-added 40mm extra armor to the lfp
-changed hatches in the coupollas
-gave the commander night vision (small periscope)
-mounted a 35mm cannon on the roof cuz why not
-armament changed to a 90mm cannon instead of 100mm but has better pen and speed

i named the tank warboss but i think its a bit cheese, i just didnt have a better idea at the time

in the last pic i added the 35mm thats on the third variant but in field gun configuration but its so small u can barely see it ;-; its on the left of the 3rd variant

tank name: "raven"
weight: 19,32 tons
cost: 15,49k sprockeroonies

top speed: 10,64 km/h
armor: either 15mm or 20mm plate
crew (9)
-commander
-gunner
-driver
-x6 machine gun operator

armaments:
-"Puteaux SA 18" (yes i just yoinked it from my renault)
-6 machine guns

i really like how this looks, since i wanted to make a authentic looking custom ww1 tank, and i finally made something that im really happy with, i made the tracks have a trapezoid shape instead of a rhomboid one since i didnt want it to resemble british tanks too much, i took the cannon from my renault ft replica which i guess gives it some more authenticity? the name of the tank is just a simple reference to one of my very old volumetric tanks i named "crow", and this could be like a bigger companion tank idk
im really proud of the rivet placement on the sides, and while the rest of the tank might not have nearly as much detail as the track shield i think its fine, im just really happy with the design.
i plan on upgrading the tank, so i guess this is the "raven mark I"?

also, this might be one of a few, if not my first tank design that can reliably cross trenches without being absurdly long! cuz when i checked this thing is like, just below 6 meters long? idk may be a bit more

chonker

im really happy with how it turned out, the trackbase detail took the longest, was very worth it, there might be some inacurracies but overall it looks good, at least i hope

I really like how it turned out, especially because i couldnt find any full blueprints or 3d models of the tank, so seeing it in 3d feels really nice. I remember having a similar issue with the vezdekhod but that at least had the frontal view. For this tank the only part of a "blueprint" that i could find was the tank encyclopedia sideview image which honestly was the main thing that made it possible

And yes that is beer on the fender

Ive been really lazy when it comes to this tank, i think i could make it in a week but it took me what felt like a good month for this tiny fella, honestly i love how it looks, not cuz i made it, i really like the design of it
