Very nice piece of work. Welcome, its not so much a Dark side as a smoky, oily, steamy side.

It almost looks like it could tow a trailer or large gun.

I'm afraid back wheels are too close.
I keep the idea for another version ;)

Quite! "Realism" should be the last thing to worry about with VSF  lol

That's a wonderful, quirky, very individual vehicle you have made and I'd love to see you make some more!

I agree and I disagree  ;D

What I mean by "realistic" is details on the vehicule to differenciate it with a toy.
And the most important thing, in my sens, on a scratchbulit model, is not be able to guess what is the orignial material (cork of bottle of milk, chewinggum box ...)

That's a wonderful, quirky, very individual vehicle you have made and I'd love to see you make some more!

Now I'm sure, I'll make other, pheraps for a game (kind of Battle Fleet Gothic scale)

I agree entirely. The objective should be to make a totally impractical model vehicle look as though it could work in the real world. You've certainly done that and "disguised" the original materials used in your model  :)

Then please make sure you post more pics of your next creation!

THe decal on the front of the vehicle leads me to assume that it is of Italian origin, lamborghini to be precise.

'Realism' is a word used with difficulty in VSF; it's more a question of 'feels' real. The idea is of things tried, not always successfully, and the kludgier the better. You've succeeded admirably!

I suspect, not so well in the turns...  ;->=
