I built the larger Striders today, hopefully pics tomorrow. I will try to get both versions (small and large) formatted on the template. I am finished with the design of the treaded tractor and trailer. My second "organic" project was a bust for a couple of reasons. I am going to try some mods of the Space Squuds from a few months ago, I've some ideas I'd like to try with them. I'll format those on the template as well.

I plan to do the easy build conversion of the 6x6 APV, and add a few additional color schemes (including one light on the paint, but still good looking and usefull).
The original idea for 4x4 M11 project is probably negative, a relative I have not seen for many years will be coming over, so not enough time for a grand project. But I might menage to do a partial modernization combined with easy build conversion.

I am attempting work on my first submission: a short-line diesel locomotive, around 7-8" long, as I have seen little in the way of railroad entries. At this point I am not confident that I will finish by the end of the month. Eventually I hope to continue work on a string of railroad equipment over the long course of time. Cheers!

Some day, I really want to revisit the Wild Wild West project I wanted to pursue. What era are you wanting to do?

I've played around with the layout on the APC, and I have it enlarged about as much as I can without going to three pages. And of course, PostImage is acting up again. I'll post when I get back Sunday Still down   Ta da! At this scale, it is just a tad larger than the 4X4 |

The railroad equipment would be classified "contemporary" - but would fit anything from "early" diesel - which would fit with pulp era to modern. Eventually I want to do some old western oriented stuff.

OK, here we go are: two big pink Striders and a not-so-big pink Strider. The assembly went well, I just need to finish formatting them for submission. That is a Wargames Factory 28mm WWII Soviet soldier for size comparison purposes.  Please let me know what all y'all think! EDIT: it occurs to me that these are fairly tentacle-y and creepy models, would all y'all like me to hold them back for next monthj's Forum Hoard 162: February Elder God Valentines? Input requested  |

I would say that you could do either, they are rather nice! Maybe do a more elderesque version for the next horde? giving them funky mouthed tentacles . . .

I'll post when I get back Sunday Still down Ta da! At this scale, it is just a tad larger than the 4X4 The main body should be 2" across, and each of the Tread parts should be a quarter inch IIRC. My SSD got fried so I had to do a re-install of windows (luckily my HDD was fine so my files were recoverable). I have not yet reinstalled any of my image editing software yet since I've been busy with other things. |

That works. Currently the body is 1 3/4 inches across. Body and tracks have been scaled the same. I think I should be able to get this to the appropriate scale in the two pages, though I will have to reduce the size of the text on the Tracks page.

Had to lose part of the tab width, and it is kind of tight, but it fits   |

Hi I'm working on a multi utility truck, inspired by these concept by Dosch Design   It's my first model, I'm working in Inkscape. I hope it turns out buildable ;-) |

All of the 4X4's are formatted, so that the same cut-file will work for each.  |

Once I got one set, it was just a matter of replacing parts with the other color parts. Not too tedious. I was half-tempted to do the redneck version with body parts in different colors.
But I resisted and my character is better for my discipline.
It would be funny, though

The first test build was a flop, I've made at least two rough mistake...

That's why I test build everything. I'd hate to release something that doesn't quite work. Good luck

 Starting to look like a motorpool. This doesn't even have any of Dave Winfield's Hummers, or the tanks. I think I'm going to have to start giving some of these to the neighbor kids |

What is the "humvee-like" car just behind the Multittruck in the right side of the pictures?
