Lego is my hobby. I create vehicles from games and scifi movies using Lego pieces. Here is what I did in this theme with Star Craft games unit "Siege Tank" This project was done in 2011-2012.
Functions
Main function is obviously the transformation from driving mode to siege mode. This includes rising the tank on top of the tracks. Tank can be driven using Lego ir-controller. Turret can be rotated and raised and it can shoot two rounds.
Finished tank uses about 5000 unmodified original Lego Technic parts.

My girlfriend tries to give the tank some scale
Turret detached, yellow parts are Lego pneumatic cylinders.
