This is brilliant!

I really like the colour scheme you use as well. Care to elaborate?

In a world of GW, this does look 'okay'. Even the benches don't look as outsized as I would imagine. Merely comfy...

Wonderful inspiration, and eight months is not bad in my world, at all!

I think it looks very good. It's big, but it's "wow, that's a big vehicle" big, not "man, that's the wrong scale" big. And the paint scheme looks great.

Well the base color is Krylon Ultra Flat Brown from the Camouflage system.  The more reddish brown is Calthan Brown from Citadel Foundations paint but I also use Delta Ceramcoat Autumn Brown which is very nearly the same color on a lot of the models in this army.  The yellowish tan is Maple Sugar Tan also from Delta Ceramcoat.  The green for the barrel is English Yew Green from Delta Ceramcoat.  I just block it on with a big brush then put a wash of burnt umber with a spot of dark blue and a few drops of Future Floor wax.  The markings are freehand.

it's not too big, i think...fits perfectly

if it's an anti grav thing, why not putting it on a clear plastic base ?

i like the way you make your vehicles from toys...remind me Rogue Trader  lol

i like your work on your blog too : I will game with no limits system too soon and your mercenary list will help me to build my own mercenary forces in the beginning (I will use some warzone minis)

Converting it to a hover/grav vehicle was brilliant.  I think it fits well.
