The Medium assault Marauder was a Hodge Podge tank built out of whatever scraps Drexx could find lying around he needed something to stow equipment and at the same time defend himself from Bandits and any other creature that might steal from him
It is Equipped with two Propulsion cannons and a armor piercing Cannon on the nose (when the battering ram doesn't work)
Able to accommodate  3 passengers 1 Gunner 1 Driver and 1 Navigator
Parts:
Main body is a POC Fury/Rage with the rear heavily dremeled off and a WWII Half Track Treads Mounted on the body
I used the outpost defender roof for the Track Guards because i wanted it to look like he built it out of everything
The front wheels are from a dollar store monster truck mounted on the frame
I cut the "wings" off the front sides to streamline it
I added Styrene to fill holes and gaps(the rear sides) and to also to add new panels to look like repair work
I damaged it all up using a Solder Iron and then added Aves Epoxy Fixit Sculpt to add weld lines to tie it all together
The rear ventilation piece is from a Shark from Eco Warriors (the big neon looking boat)
Barrels are from Marauders Gunrunners (Thanks John)
Chain is from Walmart Jewelry section
Backpack and med-kit ROC Pit commando and Vintage Lifeline
the rest is kibble
I painted 7 coats of paint on the body to give it a layered look and at the same time was adding "Salt" to it between the layers to give it a worn metal look I Drybrushed all the browns after that to make it look like it traverses the deserts and high plains

Always thought that tank needed closed top on the turret anyway... but the rest of the alterations are great as well!

I love it when people make a lot of changes to a recognizable vehicle. Sure, you can still see the Rage as a base, but I keep on looking at the pics thinking "oh, he did this, and over there he did that", like solving a puzzle.
Fantastic job, very inspiring!

How does that work? (or is it as simple as it sounds: adding salt to a wet layer of paint?)

The only thing I can think of is to give the driver goggles. That vehicle is perfect.

Thanks Tim its a long process with the salt painting after each layer drys you can brush off the salt or leave it and continue the next coat it creates "pits" in the overall process which make the plastic look like worn metal this was my first attempt at doing it and i kinda like it
