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 ^_^


That'll work for me.

Incidentally, one of the rear hatches is hydraulic to force away anything blocking the rear exit. I'll also add a breaching charge slot.

Agreed. Just because I want it to look like a Chim... a mythical three-headed beast, that doesn't mean that I want it to look exactly like it.

'specially since it's an APC. ;)

Love the extra funcional details; some I wouldn't have noticed w/out them pointed out to me...

After examining some source material, I completely reworked the turret using Manchurian parts. Other changes incorporated as well.

Will you do a flame thrower variant?

And chemical warfare & microwave sub-variants of that variant?

Hmm the turret already looks like from a Dog out of Hell apart from the gun.

Also the whole chassis looks as if it is to near to the ground and to the front. Or in other words: The tracks are to much up and rear of the chassis.

A flame thrower version should have a big barrel o' fuel at the back like this: http://tinyurl.com/2up6e7u

Fixed link.

I prefer the linked-to design because it's more goofy. Also, off-centre turrets are cool.

Tracks lowered / body raised according to source material. Thanks!

Tracks will not be moved laterally; comparison with source material verifies proper position.

Cripes that thing is cool looking. I had completely forgotten about that design.

Didn't you scratchbuild one of them?

Years ago, using my real physical fingers. I was such a caveman then.

Please make a better one for me to admire. Also, crazy variants as-yet unseen in 6mm.

Not a fan of the off-center gun. But the fuel-tank is cool :)
