Since most of the Space Colony work is done I've started on a vehicle, hopefully for this months Space Base Horde. The undercarriage and crew compartment are from the basic Genet Onager white version, the wheels have their width doubled (fatties) and come from the Genet 6x6 kit, I have to make a little transitional piece to attach the wheels to the Onager undercarriage, and the cab comes from the old Ebbles miniatures forum. Christoper Roe had posted his work in progress of a truck cab and then never developed the rest of the vehicle for it, I had originally downloaded the preview file, but lost it over the years, but I had printed it out. So I scanned it, and the resolution looks terrible, so I am using the scan as a guide to rebuild the digital version in the same color scheme as the rest of the Onager bits. Current cab progress;

It looks very cool. Never saw a WIP on this before. Is the drive contained in the underbelly?

I don't know that christopher roe ever built it, it was more of a doodle that he was developing as an alternative truck style. He had posted the image below, which I snagged forever ago, then lost the electronic file but I did have a printout to scan and use as a guide for this project. Here is the poorly scanned image that I had;

Wheels can be tedious, but I do like the final result;

Hate to say it but this pic won't load and clickying on the link I get that "unsecure" warning. Belay that. It works in "incognito" so it is one of my Chrome extensions causing the problem. I have Adblock disabled for this site but . . . anyway leaving this here in case it can help someone else. Onager looks good.

You know, a scaled down Onager Cargo Box might be a good solution for my kitbashed ambulance floater. Hmmm
