I would keep the chassis one piece, and yes, extend the track guards. I would do a seperate turret, for the reasons mentioned. Perhaps a two peice hull with a raised front and turret socket, and a choice of APC or fuel barrel plug ins for the rear Might work, though it would require reworking the utility chassis.

Designing an Axoatl Recon Vehicle as an Urn/Arma plug-in might be nice.

Nice :) But it needs only three firing ports each side. Not four :)

Looks good. My only criticism is that the troop compartment looks too tall. That and a double door like that is a lot easier to bar than a dropping ramp. :P

The top I like.

You probably remember my opinion of the sides. :-)

No, it's the other manufacturer that has it wrong. The proper count is four. Four! (Shouts in hammy, over-acting voice).

See: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam

Edit - Yes, I would like it to be 4 as a point of distinction.

Perhabs you should have a look at Grandma Wendy's APC or Dog our of Hell for the side panels?

I didn't like the big side panel things it has going on, I prefer the upitty-downitty side detail style.

Sweet! How many components did it end up being, and where do I sign up?

I like it. Although I tend to agree that a slightly lower overall profile might be nice.

2 parts.

OK, I'll spend a few hours lowering it by .4mm. Then it should be even lower than SG's.

i dont think it should be lowered. personally, i think that a lot of secondary producer tanks are too low to the ground (more realistic, perhaps, but i like the chunky nature of a GW design.

that being said, the hatch in front of the turret looks wrong to me. i'd think removing that cutaway, and biggening the turret a bit, and put me down for say, 30 ^_^
