Lego T28 Super Heavy Tank

[Chaosrain112]

If this was an actual build kit I would totally get back into Legos. My jealousy is palpable.

[brvkloshar]

13 kph speed that is bad ass

[iikkaian]

very sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[UDF2mErCuTi0]

You're a hero! To attain legend status... get some instructions up! :p

[ExcaliburSniper]

You need to play world of tanks, the T95 is available in that game, and it's super awesome

[nofolk611]

thats pretty cool

[miliket4tom]

No muzzle breaker? Your crew in big trouble, dude.

[ninjabeast139]

how do you keep your motors from burning out?

[searme]

@ninjabeast139 I don't need to.

[Mjuzikanez]

cool dude :)

[n0sk0FF]

Maus serially wasn't issued!!!!!!

[AandATech]

Nice tank

I want to ask

- If i have 300 tracks and 4 sprocket

can i make a big tank?

- And i want to ask how your suspension works?

[searme]

@AandATech 1. Depends on your definition of "big", but 300 tread links is a nice number.

2. It's pendular bogies. Check my website for a detailed description.

28 Weeks Later / 28 Days Later

[timdeowner]

take some of the lights of (the 1s in the engine apartment it looks nice but it drains teh battery D: it also wil be a bit faster whitout some lights

[searme]

@timdeowner No, it won't. There are LED lights, their power consumption is near zero.

[Tubercollosal]

Oh my, I would've bought this if it was mass produced. Beautiful creation!

[andreshark08]

Cara

o tank ficou mto foda *--*

[Reginahomeboy]

good god thats amazing that poor engine though lol

[0OrLyO0]

can you guess how many lego parts you have at home? or maybe the weight of all your parts in kg? :D

[searme]

@0OrLyO0 Under 50 thousand, I think.

[Fl3mOn80r]

T-28 would have owned if it went into combat

[randomguy9898]

@Fl3mOn80r probably would have gotten stuck long before reaching its target, and its a huge arty target, both in its large length and width, and also in its purpose.

[tracysw100]

Pretty Sweet!

[AliasJVD]

OMG VERY NICE, its total same.

[zacpower102]

what type of Technic products did you use????

[quaditz]

The largest Tank, which was really build, was the "MAUS", a German prototype. They had plans of a 1500 ton "Landkreuzer" (a Landcruiser) which a 80cm Dora mortar. But it was never build.

So the heaviest Tank ever build was the "Maus" (188 tons)

[bob111151]

U.S.A WW2 super haevy U.S steel that things a nice

[TheCleoWee]

What song?

[elimccl]

It's a little faster than the real one.

[XxxInsurgencexxX]

[Oueax]

This can easily break through the White Houses defense system!

[jackmcslay]

now make a schwerer gustav

[Buemmo]

[roma197139]

T28 is so bad tank

[jetsr]

[searme]

@jetsr In that case, this is "Don Abandons Alice" from the 28 Weeks Later OST.

[canadalegoboy]

omg very cool

[Virus9830]

and now built the P1000 "Ratte" and the P1500 "Monster" to finishthe collection of the biggest tanks of the world xD

[emochiken99]

I BELEIVE I CAN FLY I BELIEVE I CAN TOUCH THE SKY!!!!!!!!

[CSnakeV]

U added a mounted gun...

[7249xxl]

if u hate somone you buy that tank to ran over him 

[tigertank10]

holy shit how much that cost it is amazing

[searme]

@RedSkeletonGhost Actually, T29 was a conventional heavy tank project started in spring 1944 to counter the last generation of German tanks. Actually, T28 was a non-conventional tank project started in spring 1945 to destroy German defenses at Siegfred Line. Actually, I did a thorough background study before I started to work on a model, so actually I know what I've built. Actually.

[tylersm360]

@searme nope its a t95

[searme]

@tylersm360 Nope, it's Chuck Testa.

[ultramarine218]

@tylersm360 There were two designations for it. Besides, when you look at the real one, it says T28 on it.

[MrRaidonM]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW exelent

[FordMan055]

NAME OF SONG PLS!

[Formedmeerkat4]

@FordMan055  28 Weeks later theme t

[FordMan055]

@Formedmeerkat4 Thank you! :)

[Formedmeerkat4]

@FordMan055 no probs dude

[aracaen]

@searme probably had to do with looking at what happened with vehicles a fraction of their size

[FordMan055]

Wow! Thats amazing! Btw, whats the name of the song?

[NNA57]

Quoi de cette chanson?

[Epidemicx333]

Ha! His remote is even lego!

[Muijes]

i buy for 400 euro?

[searme]

@Muijes No.

[stefanovic45]

@Muijes lmfao :p nice try ahhah

[armoras78]

Bardzo, bardzo ładny :) Poprosiłbym jeszcze może o T-80 ;)

[quadman1515]

then bam... 2 year old sister go's godzillia on it

[patblo1]

woher hast du den

[1963Austria]

Treu...the Germans were far ahead ot the U.S....tehy were working on the Land Cruisers..1000 and 1,500 ton....this T-28 looks mean, but since there isn't a terriot...could only fire straight......those Tigers and King Tigers would have had a field day on these tanks....

[biggunzman]

@1963Austria It wasn't a tank it was a bunker buster. Look up the Maus.

[Hydr312]

This look like the T95 Heavy Tank ?? Oo

[Hydr312]

Can you made the T95 Heavy Tank ??

[Ratch3ta]

The top speed of the T28 was about 15 km/h or so, the model's speed seems close to scale. :p

[bobcatblue431]

very nice

[HL2MODvideos]

Wow, thats very impressive dude! Nice work! 

[TimOvrlrd]

Hey, why did the T-28 have two seperate tracks? Its looks like they are the same tracks on the sherman. Was this down for economy's sake?

[searme]

@TimOvrlrd What economy? Weight dude, weight.

[Armourlego]

Amazing............

Committed to Lego...

Like minded people. You dudes are cool.

[AKKUPATI]

Do you happen to have a flickr?

[searme]

@AKKUPATI No sir, and I don't intend to.

[davstudios027]

lol music really fits to this tank :)

[taj913]

is it me, or was the barrel everso slightly wonky?

[azzer5337]

if you were to sell it how much would you sell it for because that is one coooooolll tank lol.

[supercrazyman45]

This tank should be a set

[XaiProduction]

What's the song XD

[desertfox2403]

And whats really scary is...The full scale version didnt go much faster

[roy70550]

cool! its awesome!

[Autobotsunited]

Dude, that's fantastic. Way to go!!

[juicebix]

may i ask: what's the song?

[kllp1000]

And why do people take apart their lego tanks after they finished? Its not like they are abstract artists or something...

[randomguy9898]

@kllp1000 because buying the parts again to make new ones would get annoying and exspensive.

[kllp1000]

I like the ending :P

[CLANKILLER007]

sweet lego tank.... best ive ever seen ,,,,, do a maus if you can

[vest0079]

how many motors are there

[Mattavius96]

how long did it take to build that? btw that is beasty

[Serternos]

i like the part about 0:30

[EmperorMidget]

very cool

[iilmo]

now.Searme is an expert at buliding leog tanks.Well done

[youtship]

Ridiculous.

At 100 ton, even nowaday highway technology cannot build a road to support it.

The German were cleverer.  They simply put heavy guns on railway.

[searme]

@youtship Actually, Germans have built a 200-ton tank and were planning to built a 1000-ton and 1500-ton tanks, they called these Land Cruisers. Learn history.

[youtship]

@searme

OK I admit my ignorance about the similar plan of the Germans.

But how come eventually, they both (German & the US) abandoned the deployment of such heavy and cumbersome machines???

[searme]

@youtship There was a number of reasons, with the destruction of roads being of lesser importance. Much more important was the inability to use bridges, problems with propulsion&suspension technology of the time, and finally problems with anti-air defense. The German air forces were in bad shape when these tanks were designed, so any huge ground vehicle would make an excellent target for Allies' bombers.

[MrVolcanoes22]

@searme The Jagdtiger, although a tank destroyer was plagued by said probloms above to set an example.

[Captain25011]

@youtship Because when you have a 100 ton tank whereas normal tanks weigh 50, normal bridges wont do. And its hard to build super reinforced bridges underfire, especially when there are so many rivers in Europe. Not to mention the maintenance and cost to build are enormous sums. Those are underpowered engines which means they push harder to get any kind of speed, that means extreme fuel consumption. All in all this TANK in indestructible, but the tracks aren't. Now u have a 100 ton roadblock.

[beardo52]

@youtship In the case of the T-28/95, it wasnt ready in time to be used when needed. The thought was to use it to reduce fortifications when the Allies entered Germany. This happened ahead of schedule, so the program was canceled. The outer tracks, and support armor could be detached for rail transit, or narrow bridges, which would have also saved weight, as the side skirts were 4 inches thick.

I have been on the one at Ft. Knox, its larger than it looks in pictures.

[EmperorMidget]

@searme The gustav would be more affective anyway

[Captain25011]

@searme ya, not to mention when you get into such weights you don't care about whats road or not, if you get traction that is your road. Although you can build bridges for this thing it would not be an adviseable solution to a fast paced army. It's strictly for bunker busting, when you have a retreating army

[HL2MODvideos]

@searme Dude, a 1000 ton tank would be useless. It would sink into mud, and be impossible to get up again. Plus you dont wanna run down your own tanks right? So no that tank never became a reality, i know of which you speak but i forgot the name.

[searme]

@HL2MODvideos You're right, but still there were plans for such tanks. Maybe Adolf wanted to compensate for something.

[biggunzman]

@HL2MODvideos it would only sink if the weight wasn't distributed like it is on the T-28

[FireFightingBoy]

@searme there was one thing they built that weighted over 3000 tons it was some kind of rail cannon

[iilmo]

very good



[mweymiller142]

its a beautie

[explodingninja1]

can you that in the lego building contest you may win searme

[searme]

@explodingninja1 I don't think they make contests for Lego tanks, and besides I took it apart a long time ago.

[CrazyWW2fan]

Dude that is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! you should make instructions or sell the idea in sets!

[Eliq09]

ugly tank (in real), but excellent work :)

[CDM930]

OMG you should put a turret on top,

[searme]

@CDM930 No, I shouldn't.

[MrVolcanoes22]

@searme Yup, the T28 didn't have a turret, similar to the jagdpanzers of Germany, It is fine the way it is now.

[SydneyLumley]

absolutely amazing! how long did it take to build it and how many pieces did you use?

[searme]

@SydneyLumley A couple of weeks and a couple of thousands.

[jmantheburninator]

Amazing. good job

[demolition000]

WOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

[Scratator]

Nice lol

[nothorwitzer]

never mind sorry...

[nothorwitzer]

very well done, also does anybody know what this song is called?

[Pomka07]

cool nice logo tank lol and good video!!

[XDeathByWaffles]

What's the name of the song? I'm going to use it in my anime series.

[rob1984zp]

....traumhaft, da hat sich jemand mühe gegeben!

[TheLexhoya]

FINALLY: At 2:28 it even looks really very heavy the way it comes down on its tracks... Love the model...

[spyxter]

What's the name of the song? :)

[Xaros89]

John Murphy - Don Abandons Alice

[armed56]

you should work for Lego

[searme]

@armed56 I couldn't build tanks if I worked for Lego.

[MRX123MRX]

Thats a prety awsome lego tank

How much dose it weighs?

[searme]

@MRX123MRX 2.2 kg.

[M4X1994]

Finally, had been following the project on facebook for a while! 5/5 :-)

[lhproductions00]

darn that is a fucking masterpiece!

[krudmuphinstudioz]

Instant fav and 5 stars! This is one of my favorite tanks...ever... and wow this is well done :) Great work as usual!

[HuchiaZ]

NICE 100/100 in my book.

@RjbsNXT: true, however this tank itself only went around 10mph on good days? so it's actually dead on in model standards....

[RjbsNXT]

Great to see another tank :)

Not as fast as expected (but subtractors aren't built to take a lot of torque with all the differentials etc.)

Well done on the completion of this model, I believe the wait for the parts was well worth it.

[spyxter]

Name of the music?

[saphirekosmos]

Great job man. Also what song is that? I know I have heard it before but I can't remember for the life of me.

[crazyTERMINATR]

idk the name of the song but it is the theme song for 28 weeks later

[Madmonkeythegreat]

wow thats awsome, your best tank yet!

[eggsalad774]

shit whered i leave my panzershreck lol that looks awesome BTW

[bubinasuit]

when you said "full suspension in all 4 tracks" does that mean that the pairs of tracks have a separate suspension system for both tracks or do they share the same system?

[searme]

@bubinasuit Each track has a separate, independent suspension.

[caiocrz]

why dont u make an vehicle that can literally go anywhere??

[searme]

@caiocrz Like what?

[caiocrz]

something that is not just big and lights everywhere but something that can go over any terrain. A tatra for example but one that can go fast and similar to the real one.

Im just giving the idea because I know you can do it.

[octanbf3]

Wooo lol nice"!

[lomtafix]

very nice tank

[nothorwitzer]

this has to be your best tank yet, very good work.

[TheDivineCellphone]

You need to get a NXT and a Gyro/Accellerometer to make the canon auto-level...

also you should get either a secondary gyro or a compass to auto-turn the turret

would be 5x cooler :)

[icanhaslego]

awesome work- i think this is your best tank model to date

[bcdrizzo]

to think he has no instruction manual to build this....

[Zblj1987]

Good job, but the cannon looks a little wobbly when u spin the chair. Must be the air with worm gears.

[mrpirman]

oh... thanks for information

[mrpirman]

i think that biggest tank in ww2 was german maus

[searme]

@mrpirman Maus was never completed, T28 was. Also, Maus was much smaller than the German E100, which was never completed too.

[alreadytakenindeed]

U are sick mate its so beautiful
