Still loads to do but happy with progress so far.

Very interesting what are you using for the base kit?

Paul, this looks great!

Is that perchance a Cheffee hull?

Bugger; dyslexia strikes again. For “Cheffee” please read “Chaffee”.

Looks like an early WWII Soviet T60 tank hull.

Thanks folks.
Yes indeed it is the T-60 from Mister Hobby Kits with the Protector RWS from Trumpter.

Well that is a very interesting use of a WW2 tank- I think the odd, angular look of that old Soviet piece suits it quite well to a more modern setting.

Thanks, I thought it might be wanted to be sure. I agree with Karl that makes a great chassis for autonomous vehicle.

This one is developing into a slaved wigman type of thing. One is going to be a sensor platform aka SNIFFER. Second one will bearmed, but
not sure what just yet.
Figure just for scale.

Issues of suspension etc aside, what do you folks think? Just lightly tacked together to get a sense of it

You’ve made it look very modern- I think once you paint it up and the color is unified it will look like a purpose built modern UGV.

Is that a mk19? If so, the ammo needs kinda makes it less than ideal. Maybe something in the .30 cal range. Same size box more rounds.

Cheers Ryan, I was having a similar thought myself… ohhh decisions decisions…
But if I change the shooty thing- I’ll have to change the name :confounded:

Then again, it greatly exceed this one I suppose :crazy_face:


I could adjust the core concept, but I dont have the time to write my own FM :rofl: :joy:

I am cycling weapons options on a vehicle, so I get it. I wouldn’t change on my account. A mk.19 slinging autonomous vehicle sounds pretty bad ass to me.

After a bit of deliberation I went with the Mk 19.

Call signs 808- Cyclops and 329- Thumper all but done.

Still need some judicous use of pigments.

Oh man you’ve done a great job with those two- and great names for them too! You would not guess that the bottom bits are a WW2 design.
