I only had about an hour to play with this. Before I get too carried away, I thought I would ask for some input.
This is an APC, and will have a couple different options. It will have a bed like the Camel FAAV, and also a closed cabin. It can carry a squad of figures (six) and *may* have a turret option.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Input?

I'd drop some shadows into the track area so the body is not the same colour were the tracks meet the body as the rest.
It's itching for 3d tracks, if your upto it you could make them optional and simple rounded rectangular cubes, for some reason my brain is seeing them as chunky to give the whole thing a low crawller like look but thats just what I'm mentally visualizing when seeing one profile
Maybe some damage scratches/mud that kind of thing?
just some quick thoughts as I'm procrastinating doing instructions for the steam mech....
edit: not sure if you want them but some public domain camos at open clipart library, be careful how you apply them or they can look dodgy as per mentioned in a previous thread

"There is wisdom in turning as often as possible from the familiar to the unfamiliar: it keeps the mind nimble, it kills prejudice, and it fosters humour." George Santayana, philosopher (1863-1952)
Suggestion: Make the thread as a box separated from the body. Using the same "3D or 2D" style of your previous models.
The simplest model will have a 2d body with 2 2D threads, one each side os maybe even be a simple 2D body as all previous versions. The intermediary model can have the 3D body and 2D threads, and the complex model a 3D body and 2 3D threads.
I know only what I had on my G.I.JOE vehicles as a kid, and what I find on-line.
Glenn Williams already pointed out my "errors." This was a test/ prototype, but I can see a lot of potential here.
I was procrastinating on making the "box" for my "boxed set" for EoW. I will revisit this after I get the game out... It is ready to go right now with no box.
Back on track... (no pun intended) I am planning on trying a couple different options. We will see how it all unfolds. ;D

I love this Kila, a nice simple to build (and thus mass produce) apc model in a range of colours (especially like the woodland too)!! Excellent.
I don't particularly like the bright white star on it though (especially on the stealth scheme). It just looks out of place to meand limits it's use to certain armies. Personally I'd drop it
3D tracks would be a bonus, but like the FAAV the 2D option leads to a quick and simple build.
Keep up the good work Kila!!
Right now I'm off to transfer Era of War to my e-reader so I can peruse it whilst on my trip later this week.

I hope you enjoy it. It is a blast to play, and once you get through the first couple of rounds, it becomes second nature.
I am all about easy to play, and simple is better than complicated.
That is what is great about not only EoW, but these models. I plan on re-visiting these soon, but I plan on getting these out there *soon.* I have about four projects waiting on me, that I need to get finished before JaggedJaw unleashes the Scarecrows on me.
Thanks again for the great feedback. Ok, the star is going to be axed... at least on some of the models.

wyvern: cowboycentaur: The Fat Dragon Volcano set was a stretch goal from the Wilderness Adventures KS back in 2015, so that should still be available in your DriveThru RPG Library. You should be able to find it there under "Fat Dragon Games".

cowboycentaur: Anyone recall a Fat Dragon Volcano set? I have one that seems to have lost a bunch of files in the last decade or so, and moves across several computers. Now i can't find the set anywhere online.

alloydog: You can copy/paste the images into the forum and this shout box - 😁 but there isn't the Thumb Up... 🤔

alloydog: You can even copy/paste it to Notepad (or any other text editor, I guess - I use Gedit)

alloydog: From the post I linked to below, if you select it, then right-click on it, you will even get an option to search for the Thumb Up character, so I think it is part of the standard ASCII character set: https://i.p

alloydog: If you look at script of the post, it looks like this:

alloydog: Actually, I can't remember where it came from, might be from Proboards emoticon own library. It is literally a character that can be copy/pasted. If you go to my post cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/post/100330/ you can copy the thumbs up there.

Vermin King: alloydog, did you do it by inserting with PostImage? I did not see it in the smileys
