Kooky and well done
Might need a bit of weight to add traction though eh !!

Not very much ground clearance on the 1/24 Tank lower hulls. Be good if I could cut out the central hull a little.
But I now need new drive wheels as the pins are pulling out as they are old. Anyone got any drive wheels or drive unit spare for one of these?
I have also now added an emergency get away chopper on the back which fits nicely. Maybe try and attempt a few take offs in a video

Ok some may ask why the detailing when the bodyshell is fitted?
Well this is the beauty of my design.
It can either be run with top on to look like survival vehicle and a bit of fun.
Or take the body off and run it like a modified tracked go anywhere vehicle.
2 in 1 model for fun
Just need new drive sprockets and then it is almost done

This machine of doom you have is super cool. I love the helicopter too, it remindes me this:

Haha that is great
I have done a small Helicopter escape trial on my dinning room table. It didn't end so well as the chopper flew off towards my head and then i had to cut the power to avoid damage to the decorations haha!!!!!

But yeah, it would be cool to have Little Nellie folded up sitting on the back for sure. that would look awesome. Oh damn, you done it now! Now i want to make a small scale Nellie to sit on the back hahahahahaa!!!!

I reckon this Camper Pickup would look cool for the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action vehicle!

Don't worry, more mad incarnations still on the cards, so more to come for sure.
