Always a fan of a big truck.
Found a beat Bruder truck abandoned on the side of the road. The scale just didn't work for me. I know it's been done, seen it on this site, and alone or just towing an M1A1 tank it's awesome, but mixed in with other rigs the Joescale is too far off. This led me to just create an interior for the Chap Mei dragon wagon, which I had grabbed super cheap. Once I started pulling both apart I knew I had to combine them. This is where we are heading. Please leave all thoughts as this is why I post in the WIP section. |

I'm no scratch builder, but nath_1977 has got me inspired. Here's what I've done. Pulled the interior out of a warthog and cut the rear troop area off to be used as a stand alone transport box in the future. Then the three seats were separated and rearranged to suit my interior plans. Standing room beside the rear center seat.

That's just silly. Maybe you should check out your Warthog, WASP, and that arctic tank again.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. So, any suggestions for mounting the gatling? Thinking some type of radar dome thing like a phalynx (spelling?) system. |

Looking good. I have the exact same Bruder chassis that I plan on putting a new cab on.
I also have considered later taking and cutting up the original cab and reducing its size to make it Joe scale on a different vehicle
