Neither price nor name have been settled yet, but I'm quite optimistic that it will be released next Monday 8)

How about "Mongo" (from Blazing Saddles) and you could charge 10.00 Euros  :-I

 lol lol

I know, it's worth much more than that! It's looking great with some paint on ;)

I think you'll find that a service date of 2010 is much much later than Bungie's first offering of the warthog in Halo: Combat Evolved (November 15, 2001).

Bloody Hell. The MOD are naming their new armoured vehicles after video game inventions! How's that for life imitating art?  ;)

... and Warthog is also the Nickname of the A-10 Thunderbolt. But even before that, it was the name of a ... warthog, courtesy of Mother Nature :D

Thanks for all the suggestions, people! Still haven't made up my mind though. I'll probably go with "truck" o_o

Jack, the tires were painted black, then washed with various earth tones to simulate dirt in the tracks, then drybrushed black again. I need to rework these, they are much too light.

I didn't sculpt them at all :) They were modelled in 3D CAD by a friend, then rapid-prototyped.

I think that TOAD would be a good name. Or Hyena?
