@GrandPimp20

where did that come from?!?!, im looking at tank videos and see this random person that says they got raped...seriously? i dont even say that kinda of stuff

[2010superluigi]

The whole bottom of the tank is made of megabloks so i wouldn't excactly call it a "lego" tank.

@2010superluigi

No, they were "Best Lock Construction Blocks" (According to Entertainmentcenter)

[2010superluigi]

@ConsoleKiller100 hmm do you know where i can buy there sets?

[ConsoleKiller100]

@2010superluigi

I don't know if they're even in business anymore, to be honest! I got those at a local Target store YEARS ago.

@ARMYBOYS100 ok nice

[GrandPimp20]

My grandfather molested me 17 years ago. No body even gave a shit!

[TheLegocreator121]

Actually it looks like a bradley tank!

[Danie9989]

a very good tank destroyer head on with its 5 inch armor but it could be taken out with a molotov cocktail! it had some major problems

sorry just a random historical fact that has nothing to do with lego!

[HeirofGojira91]

@Danie9989 If I may the Elefant had thicker than 5 inches of armor - 1 inch = 25.4mm so 5 x 25.4mm = 127.0mm but Elefant had 200mm worth of armor - basically 100mm + another 100mm bolt on armor so 200mm/25.4 = 7.87401575 inches worth of armor! That no doubt was thicker than a Tiger I - and the sides were 80mm. Indeed the Ferdinand was very vulnerable to close up attacks - flame throwers and fuel bombs would have torced them! Sometimes they'd fire a machinegun via the main gun barrel!

[HeirofGojira91]

@Danie9989 The Elefant nonetheless carved a legacy in its own right - and it had a surprisingly impressive tank kill ratio - its 88mm PaK 43 which was more powerful than that of a Tiger I's main KwK 36 gun would have had no trouble at range. With that 200mm worth of armor it was actually more of a mobile bunker that did still have reliability and transmission problems. The Jagdtiger was an even BIGGER problem...though the Jagdpanther was a nice balance :)

Hey you used mostly "Best Lock Construction Blocks" hardly any Legos.

Cheater!

[ConsoleKiller100]

I'm sorry, I couldn't remember what they were when I used them, I just assumed they were legos... :)

[2brokenbones]

@ConsoleKiller100 this doesnt look like an elephant tank more like a panzer tank mark 4

[runescapemanrox]

are they cobi people? not bein mean coz i think its cool!!

[ConsoleKiller100]

what does that mean?

[ConsoleKiller100]

I just realized the Elefant didn't have side plates to protect the tracks... ah well.

[hatemf23]

might also want to make the barrel a little longer ;) it was very long on the elefant

[cameron6574]

i'm an awesome lego creator as in i could build anything so i built one a little better then that

[Madmonkeythegreat]

well good for you :P

[NYCadet273]

I wish I had lego creativity like your's man... one of your many great creations!

[friggingbomb88]

i wanna have that kind of caterpiller track :(

without it i never build a normal tank ...

[airsoftpwner576]

actually u can buy some tracks for lyk 20 bucks

[legoknexkid]

very nice but in real life the germans fergot to put a machine gun on the elefant

[legofreaks123]

wow cool good job!!! xD

[WWIIIthenovel]

The Elefant was a tank destroyer. Really one of the only ones with a turret traverse. But nice job looks just like it!

[LordTrazaza]

[ConsoleKiller100]
