Actually, the halftrack and wheeled version of the last monster are one in the same model with a few changes.

I wonder if anyone noticed that first image is of a 1/35 scale ZIL truck but with a shortened 1/48 scale T34 running gear
in the rear......nobody caught that? Shame, Shame.

It most certainly would not be newbie armour me! Besides soaking in the general atmosphere, I'm too busy just trying to figure out how you do it!

Oh don't rack your brain over it, second vehicle is a WW2 vintage GMC 6x6 truck with a WW2 vintage Russian T70 tank running gear.
Front suspension fitted with home made lift kit with 1970s vintage Russian armored car tires and wheels

Next "Homemade Halftrack" coming down the pike will be 1970s vintage M35 6x6 cargo truck with a lengthened
chassis to accommodate a full Panzer II running gear and a raised front suspension with oversized tires and wheels from
a British "Staghound".
Oh! and by the way it mounts on the back the deadly German 88mm just for kicks.
Just needs some finishing touches and to be photo-ed and posted....If I can ever get around to it.
Now that spring has sprung there is much to do around the farm even though Mother keeps trying to
hold me back, afraid I will push myself too far. But Hey! I'm a grown ass man and I know when I've
enough to drink! er....ah...I mean work

Next upcoming will be an Ural 234 6x6 mounting a105mm howitzer, truck is built in stock form.
