Like Old Goat, I saw the front and immediately thought of Ro-Busters era Hammerstein. It's great, and I can't wait to see it painted! Man it would have been cool to have seen some mo-pads in the Dredd movie...

Has anyone attempted a Helltrekker wagon at all, does anyone know? Seems to me that'd be a great scenario for a skirmish game.

That is fabulous. What have you used for the front portion? Looks like a mishmash of various pieces but I've been struggling to find suitable curvy pieces.

The front section is made from an acrylic display dome that came with a micro-scale remote control truck and the pieces that go around the side are from a submarine model. The cockpit is a Kung Zhu Battle Armor. I used the yellow one as shown here: http://www.amazon.com/Zhu-Special-Forces-Battle-Armor/dp/B0039LVHZY/ref=pd_sim_t_7

The orange parts on top are from toy dump-trucks, the red bit is from a robot candy dispenser.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments. Next step I'll be adding some ground effects and wheels.

Nope just shoddy putty work. Are there even dogs in MC1?

That really is great. I only wish I had half as much success as I tried to turn piles of old packaging and whatnot into works of art!

All the dogs got eaten, I think.

I've got four Kung Zhu armour things (found them in £ Stretcher for 99p each) under my stairs waiting for conversion into vehicles. I will definately try using one as the cab of a larger vehicle. Thanks for the inspiration

Nice work, definitely has the right 'bulk' to it. Am looking forward to the final piece.
