Another vehicle for my Northern Guard, at least I think that what I want to do with it. So far I fit the Eliminators cannon on to the Cats body. I had to rework the whole back of the vehicle because I want the lower gate to open and have storage for amo. I cut the original tail gate in half and reworked the top part of it as a ram bar. I widened the original fenders but kept them short so they look more like steps for getting into the cab. I pulled the front treads in as close and as far back as I could they are only I tiny bit wider than the rear ones. I think what I will do is extend the rear ones out to match. This one doesn't roll but I might add wheels to it I'm not sure yet.

Tracks look good from way over here. Nice use for the rear piece on the chin!

Dang. Getting a BF2000 vibe from this (not a bad thing, either.)

Also - I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with an idea for an 1:18 MOTU Attak Trak with an enclosed canopy. And this just might give me the nudge I need. The Snowcat cockpit would be too small for my MOTU customs, but the basic design and use of the treads is inspired -- will be looking for ways to incorporate that.

Awesome stuff! And as always - thanks for the WIP pics!

Hmmmmmm

Send it to me I'll paint it for ya. Lol. Well if I'm not mistaken you gave your Northern Guard team an olive drab color scheme. I would use that color and use powder or fake snow sprinkled on the surface.unless you are looking for a radical change. If that's the case I would go with a snow or urban camouflage with black accents (guns, misiles, ect...) and red stickers or decals..

Super.

Nice! Looks like my mkII havoc that I scrapped.

How did you scrap it? Lit it on fire and through it in the ocean? Or is it just sitting in a box somewhere? Lol if it's the second one you should finish it.

I like the idea but the more I look at this it feels a bit Cobraish to me now.
