Street Ronin - Project C-R48

Vehicle/Prop Design of an experimental tank.
This vehicle has two different assets: a fighting mode ready for the action and an idle mode, where the tank folds on itself in the shape of a turret awaiting for commands.
This vehicle doesn't host a pilot and needs to be controlled from remote.
The concept changed a lot during the development of this project: to design something that could be part of the universe of Street Ronin, the vehicle needed to have an advanced technology but also needed to look almost retrò, non too much sci-fi.

Discarded 3D models. The design of the first one was too futuristic and Sci-Fi for this project; the legs of the second appeared to be too weak to support the weight of the tank.

Rough sketches. Before deciding to go for a more grounded tank I was aiming to design a mech. I discarded the idea cause it didn't look right for this project.
