Ok I have started this project some weeks ago. I found a photo that would back up an idea of the Mk4 with the mine roller using the Trophy unit.


So firts I started with the turret upgrads so I can add the trophy system.

So far (as usual) your work looks sweet. Cheers.

If you played Black Ops II, you would know exactly what a trophy system does.
Looks like another impressive build. I'm hooked.

Here's a photo of both the comand and loaders hatch covers open. I like the look of having both hatches so that's why I'm using both...
