But after this one I definitely was in the mood again for more vehicle kits.

Great Build!
The Shape almost looks Organic...

You found your Mojo on this one. The paint looks super with nice detailing. I would roll on the mean streets with this tank. Don't know anything about the movie it is from, but I could see Alex Murphy driving this. Now you youngsters can go look up Alex Murphy

Thanks, guys. Much appreciated.
Yep, Alex Murphy (I needn't look it up, I'm old enough) would probably love this.
The "organic look", yes. Somebody somewhere compared the standing mode to a mounted knight.
The four legs and main body the horse, the vulcan cannon the lance.
