LEGO Tarkus (-very- random internet find)

Post by Albatross_Viking »

While scrolling through some music today, I came across the "Tarkus" album by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. It looked promising, so I checked it out and encountered something as unexpected as a LEGO edition of the album's namesake Armadillo Tank thing. Can't seem to find out who made it, but I thought it'd be a fun thing to show to any potential progrockers around here, or just anybody who enjoys a strange vehicle with some nice technigues :wink:

Without further ado, I present the Tarkus!

Agreed, it's a pretty funny design.

Here's the original cover art for comparison:
