Hope this helps anyone out there, pretty straight forward. I started by taking off anything that isn't screwed on(small machine gun tip on top turret) and stickers that were applied by Hasbro already. Next a small phillips screwdriver and there's 7 screws on the underside of mobat(1 for battery cover and 6 holding body together). Once the body is unscrewed lift the top off and then you can take the rubber treads off of bottom and the bogey wheels if you're going to take them off(not that hard to take off-or-put on but I didn't take the front or rear wheels off of the axles, different setup on those ones). Motor is held in by 2 small phillips screws and the wires running to the battery area. You can either cut the wires or try to undo the battery connections. Then the rear motor box/axle shaft and the front axle shaft lift out. Now the top of the body has more pieces due to the turret setup. The rear panel also comes out of grooves easily. There is 4 small screws on the clip on the underside of the turret underneath the top of the body, take them out and then take the clip piece off. Next there is one screw on the bottom of the center turret underneath also, take that one out and the center turret well come out through the top. Then there is 7 screws on the underside of the main turret. Once the main turret is seperated, the main cannon has to be tilted so it's sideways and push/pull it through the openning into the center of the main turret and take it out. The center extendable part of the cannon comes out if you push it through the back of the larger part of the cannon. Then it's all appart.

updated pics of Crimson Guard U.A.H.T. (Urban Assault Heavy Tank). Still a little more paint work before finished and then have to screw it back together. How do you dremel out the center turret to fit figs in better? Do you dremel out the bottom front or the bottom itself? If you do the bottom you can't screw the turret back together and gear selection won't work either for motor.

still adding more Red Tides(Sharc/Night Specter) to my ever expanding fleet of CG Air Force customs. I have 2 more Night Specters that just came in but now I don't know if I'm going to do those 2 for the CG Red Tide squad or not. I have(once these 4 are painted) 5 CG Red Tides, those 2 new ones would make 7 but I'm thinking of doing 1 of them as an Iron Grenadier and the other as a Drednok one.

Here's the first pics of the Crimson Guard Urban Assault Scout/Support Vehicle(U.A.S./S.V.). Started out as a Target exclusive AWE Striker and when finished will have camo just like the Mobat(U.A.H.T.) and my Armadillo when it arrives. Going to do some Vamps, Hummers and Whirlwinds and/or ASPs like these to along with a squad of Crimson Guard Urban Assault Division Troopers outfitted w/camo and gear. The CGs are coming to your town and are going to take over!
