With a small Easter egg inside

Suggestion by u/Charming-Push-8171.

This time, the challenge will be a special case. I'm really overwhelmed right now, many MOCs aren't uploaded yet, and I need to take a break. Therefore, I'll give you much more time to write your suggestions.

Check out all my MOCs here: https://rebrickable.com/users/MarsalMalinovsky/mocs/ .

Although this experimental autonomous VT gained a nickname of "featherless hen" among the ground crews, its' combat reputation is quite fierce.

In a regular 0.8 - 1G environment Nightjars are unable to sustain prolonged flight - but that is not its purpose. Four main engines and numerous thruster blocks allow this machine to zap around the battlefield on a speeds unreachable for conventional ground vehicles.

It has no armor and rely solely on its' shields, active defense measures and, more importantly - agility. Without a flesh-and-blood pilot it performs maneuvers that would kill most of the conscious species if they were inside.

Its' tactics are subtile: while the bulk of the strike team faces the enemy - Nightjars get behind their lines and strike the most vulnerable parts of the mechas with its coilgun. They get in, bleed out the enemy and get out - the rest is for the main forces to handle.

While it can operate fully autonomous with its onboard AI the complex nature of its' tactics require a living pilot for it to shine. When remotely operated these VTs are the most effective.

Nightjar is too expensive and highly specialized model to be the mainstay of NCM's armed forces, but in some situations it is irreplaceable.

Another upload from my Flick page.

Heavily inspired by Nicks works. I built this without any plan really, mostly just playing around with parts.

The army green colored pieces are from gobricks

It's a remake of an older model - the M48

This is a sci-fi concept based on what I've seen and read about the war in the Black Sea. It's an autonomous or remotely piloted boat that launches unrecoverable air drones. The air drones use hobby-grade solid rocket motors to take-off from their launch rails. The "spoiler" at the aft of the boat is not an aero-device, it's an antenna platform for radio control and electronic countermeasures jamming.

This model does not accurately depict any real-life weapon system of which I am aware.

Minfigure scale, 193 parts.

Built following the former livery of the vehicle displayed at the Bovington Tank Museum.

Crab is a superior form not only in nature: turns out it is efficient in combat as well.

Callinectes, nicknamed "siege crab" by NMC personnel, is heavy-armored all-terrain walker with two main purposes.

First - to clear the way of rubble for advancing troops, dig trenches and make other defensive structures.

Second - to provide those troops with artillery fire with its 155mm howitzer.

Six main legs provide substantial mobility to Callinectes on difficult terrain.

Two giant manipulators resembling crab claws not only can lift, cut and tear heavy debris, but also act as movable shields for covering the chassis - or personnel on the ground.

Two hands at the back are used to dig and plow, above them are separate set of optic and other sensors. That makes moving back almost equivalent to moving forward for Callinectes.

Other than heavy armor the Siege crab has only one machine gun turret and active defense systems - it mostly relies on ground troops and light vehicles for protecting it in close combat.

Heard about carcinisation? I bet you did. Time for Crab is all about it.

I pretty much thought about making something like this since the first time I saw this event. This time I take part in it myself. Enjoy!

Also it is sort of a spiritual successor to Mudcrab - check that out if you haven't.

So I decided to try posting my stuff here on Reddit. Usually I post only on my Flickr page but it feels like it is slowly dying. We'll see how it goes. May post my previous builds.

Featuring:
• 1:32 scale
• Custom printed parts
• Custom minifigures
• The iconic mast-mounted sight
• Detailed weapons and mission equipment

My first MOC (T-72B 1989) at 1:35 Scale with soviet forest camouflage it has interior details (engine, autoloader, driver seat) and functions (openable front blade, gunner and driver hatches, engine cover)

So if you like it you can get the instructions for

5 USD from https://houssamahmad.gumroad.com/l/Custom\_Build\_T72B\_1989

And let me know your notes.

These are just some fantasy scout tanks for my custom fighting force. They have a 32mm cannon, AT missile, and a 50 on there hulls. They each have 2 fuel tanks on the rear for longer distance travel.

I also have an MBT in progress that will be shown soon.

After slight delay, the next episode is here. Suggestion by u/azatote.
