Toy RU 251

One of the assignments I had in college was to come up with a game idea, and surprise surprise, mine had tanks in it.
This however is a concept model for a 'toy' tank, based on the RU 251 light tank. The tank was a large light tank, but was still a light tank, making it a small tank when compared to its counterparts of the time.
This is just a simple visual representation of how the toy tanks would look in the idea I had, remembering to bear in mind, that these would be placed alongside real world tanks and fighting vehicles.
Using MagicaVoxel allowed me to make this model quickly and easily, but there is the loss of smooth edges. This is just a visual representation of how they would appear, and not an actual model of how the vehicles would appear in my game idea.
Needless to say it would look ridiculous parked next to it's standard counterpart, or its even larger successor the Leopard 1, but that's part of the fun.
