Allies capture the forward bunker! (Or Romhaller's Druzynik tank)



Thanks to Dale (Unit 186 ) for pointing out this tank on Flickr. As "Captain Unknown" was the first to point out, the front looks a lot like the window of an axis bunker from the FPS Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Hence the title.



Some of the really cool things about this are the nearly studless construction, the really cool half-brick-built tracks, and the bunker on the front. The use of tiles and curved slopes along with the occasional 1x1 round plate makes for a really clean riveted armor look. The tracks make really good use of the fact that old-style tank tracks can attach to the bottom of a 1xn plate or tile. And the bunker... Well, it's not really a bunker, but as a tank basically serves the same function as a bunker, only it moves, that's OK. The same purpose applies especially on this one, obviously, as it... has a bunker on the front. Well almost. Whatever. Bunker. Tank. Tanker. Bunk. I should shut up now.

Jacob
Occasional driving force of the blog, self-proclaimed Lukas fanboy, and aspiring engineer, Jacob spends too much time building LEGO, not enough time practicing piano, and not nearly enough time doing school. He also enjoys long sentences. In the instance of blogging, he believes in quantity over quality, wherever quantity can be maintained.
Mike
One of the cofounders of YSAB, and the founder of YSA, Observing Mike actually being productive is a rare occasion. Mike enjoys making outlandish claims in relation to actually building, pretending he's actually sorting his collection, and making excuses for why he hasn't photographed his MOCs. In his free time he enjoys learning CSS from Spook, photography and poking badgers with spoons.
Dean
Occasional builder, occasional blogger, and full-time procrastinator. That's really the only way to describe Dean. He rarely gets anything done, but is a very active lurker. He's probably seen and liked your MOC, but just forgot he had a blog.
Erik
Erik is still a teenager.
Lukas
Lukas is tall, blond, mildly OCD, and doesn't build nearly enough as he would like to, thanks to school. He has a webpage.
Spook (Tim)
The resident codemonkey and graphics person. If something isn't working correctly, it's probably his fault. Fitting to his name, he doesn't post often, but someone has to do this stuff too, right? Spook does build with laygoes, and has his own blog as well.
