I really like it.. I especially like all the detail you put into the rear section with the all the "hydraulic arms" and all that.
Please show pics of more of your work... some of those dioramas we see in the background

Here's a kinda similar idea (I think this vehicle really looks cool) ... so, your idea isn't really way out there!

Couldn't agree more ,,love those things and the fact i could drive that vehicle with no training ..its based on a 6x6 dump truck and i can drive those .seen the inside of one and the controls are the same ,,now that would be something very cool ,,driving one of those lol ,,thing is ,,, I built my model over 12 yrs ago ,,love it when things like this happen

Cool concept. Looks rather like the love child of a Bandkanon & a 2S7 Pion...
