Default 1/16 M35 truck conversion

When the bobbed deuce came out I had a few ideas about converting that critter into some other vehicles that would fit on the r/c frame. My first choice was the Morris C8 Quad FAT. I have always liked that rig and decided to do it first, with 3 or 4 other types to follow. I finally got it to where I could throw some paint on it, and now some detail work, decals and weathering are next. This is it so far.

Hi Rex
Very nice. If you want some detail inspiration look at the Armortek site - Morris Quad & 25 pdr & Ammo Limber - http://www.armortek.co.uk/Forum3b/index.phpc -

Yes, if you agree that smashing into other soft skins is fighting.

With enough inertia, anything can be a weapon!
