Mobile Missile Silo and Troop Deployment Platform

Zoom in

The "MMSTDP" was built to support a large missile silo into battle, or onto difficult terrain (D&D reference for the win) while also holding a troop escort. The vehicle has so far met its purpose, but its structural design has caused problems with break downs, and, on occasion, spontaneous combustion. Plans are being approved to design a more heavily armed vehicle to carry out the same purpose, without need of troop support.

About this creation

The cockpit, I suppose that's what I'll call it. I'm not sure what a fitting name for this is, but oh well. There aren't an controls in there, and there isn't any glass. It doesn't seem like a very functional cockpit.

This is a turret. Credit to the barrel mechanism, and guard plate things goes to "Saber Scorpion" A.K.A. "Justin Stebbins" the rest of the turret is mine, I think. On the side of the turret is some SMG, so the operator can be prepared for any eventuality.

This shows off the turrets ability to swivel and point almost anywhere. It also shows the abnormally large box shaped magazine.

The back of the vehicle. You can see a rocket launcher (the tan-ish thing) and two guns in a bin, you might also be able to see that the cockpit doesn't have any controls.

This shows a boarding ramp so people can get onto the vehicle.

Video-Game-like shot of the missile silo.

GASPETH! The silo doth open! Sorry I don't speak Shakespearean English.

The missile inside the silo. Sorry about the green, I'm not sure that piece comes in grey. The missile is unconventionally huge, and can be replaced with surface-to-air missiles or even filled with a ton of grenades to make a short lived mine-field.

The inside of the silo, it is in shadow, but it does extend all the way to the back so as to fit the missile inside.

Truth be told, I think this is one of my worse creations as far as design goes. I do like the turret, and the missile silo, but the over-all structure of the vehicle leaves much to be desired. The main success is the color, of all my creations this uses the least dark grey and the least black. I'm hoping to use the silo again (and my newly built rail-gun) in a better creation soon. But for now a bid you Abschied.

Quoting Spencer "Hawkeye" Pearce I really think that you're giving yourself too little credit. While I agree that it could be improved, it's really cool. I especially like the silo and functional ramp, as well as the short-lived minefield idea overall. I would like to see you remake this. There is just so much potential here, if you add cockpit details and perhaps some walls to protect the troops, this could be one mother of a MOC. And that is what we need.

Thanks for the feedback, although it's been a while since I've done anything very Lego related, I might remake this using your advice.
