Next Gear Krieg WIP: Su-85 with "electrokinetic cannon"
« on: September 08, 2009, 03:36:41 PM »
The conversion is based on some Gear Krieg artwork. I used a cheap Armourfast Su-85 1/72 kit to start, the EKC is made of plastic-rod with additional plastic pieces to represent the outside magnetic projectors.

Gear Krieg Background:
One application of Tesla technology was the EKC "electrokinetic cannon," a combined energy projectile weapon of great destructive potential. The Soviets based this weapon on schematics from reverse-engineered German "Thor's Hammer" artillery guns, applying the same principles they had used to shrink the Tesla ray.
The result was a rudimentary combat railgun small enough for common battlefield deployment. Firing large armour-piercing rounds at velocities far faster than normal cannon rounds, the electrokinetic cannon became the primary weapon of the Russians' new SU-series tank killers.
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - https://www.adpublishing.de

Hello!

Good job, but in my opinion is seem "somewhat insipid", perhaps any energy container?

OK, OK...
What about this:

I added 2 crewmen (AB Minis) and the superscience engine stuff (GZG).
Pulpy enough? ;)

I don't think it looks right where the gun meets the sponson/mantel. Needs either thickening up or a cover added.

Wow! really cool and very simple. Sometimes there is tendency to overdo the "pulpy bits". This tank is just right.

I was thinking about this & perhaps the mantlet would be more of an aesthetics thing & would the russians be more inclined to be practical rather than aesthetical  :D (if that makes any sense  :?)

Any how can't wait to see it finished  :D
