This is 1/20 Colonial Marines APC Resin kit. As can see regardless of scale it is compatible with 1:18 or 3.75" figures.
No long write up on the back story. It is adapted to my verse. It is still an APC (advanced US military APC using Navy based laser technology or rail gun system; haven't decided). Making a rocket launching variant. Made some custom changes to the kit: - elevated wheel height (for my purpose and more common with modern APC's) - cut out opening for driver side door. Door is hinged and turning handle locks the door. - add slide rail and rod so the side door can open/close. - made joints so main gun can elevate. Pins to allow both main and forward twin barrel gun to rotate. - cut out resin to add windshield to frame. - in process off adding seat to interior. Not that easy unless want to cut out section of the floor or roof to do more interior work. |

All those moving/working parts! My main interest though is how you made th
e wheels. And the work lines are all clean as well. |

looks real good but the scale would drive me nuts as it's definitely undersized for joe figures.

This is a great kit that you made even better. I've been following your build on FB and it's turning out fantastic!

Looks awesome!
The APC along with the Dropship are two of my top 3 all-time wanted movie/tv 1:18 scale vehicles. The 3rd is Airwolf btw.

Looks great man, lifting it is cool. Those tires could use an update...you raised it so the wheels should reflect 'off road'. Use more aggressive and knobby tires. Great work.
