although I applaud the concesion to real life and the need for steps, each step is still roughly waist high  ;)

This one isn't doing much for me.  However, I think it would be much better with rear tracks instead of wheels.  Throw the ones from your steam tractor on there and see what it looks like.

Yeah have to say the wheels don't look great and a little poorly shaped.

Like the Bad moon RT Ork though very nice! ;)

How do they decide who has to be the driver, and sit outside, while everyone else is in the armored interior?  ::)

Is this for VSF or Weird War I type stuff? Because it actually looks quite modern. 60's era, or later even.

Hi... thanks for your comments. The original vehicle looks like this:



The Goliath is still w.i.p., wheels are lacking an outer rim and some funnels and gizmos on top are missing.

The steps really look huge on the pictures, maybe I add one more between them ;)

For the drivers situation... you really want to be in the front seat to feel the Waaaaaaghâ„¢

Whoever breaks wind first after each evening's "curried beans and cabbage" super-supper gets that honour next morning lol

Maybe it does need some sort of armour for the driver and some work smoothing out the edges of the tyres to make them look more natural.

It would make a nice tractor unit for a post-apoc land train or similar.

It's definitely intriguing and given your past record, I'm sure the finished vehicle will look great  :D
