BSC2025 - Aircav's IMC Buggy

I’m going to have a go at making an IMC buggy from Colony in space.

Which is actually a pimped up Steyr Haflinger

That poor thing looks like it has a surprise cavity search....

Will you be scrathbuilding it or modifying a existing kit?

Seeing how tiny it is, maybe a set of wheels from the 1/72 Revell Humvee? I can measure them to see if they would be a good fit for you size wise.

Managed To get a sketch done in CAD.




The dimensions are the proposed actual size of the build  :o

the cab floor isn't quite like I've drawn it as I have found some more pictures of the interior after i drew this  ::)

What would be the dimension of wheels you would need, I might have some other 1/72 candidates that would at least give you the basis to work from.
