Another sci-fi build. Seem to be doing a lot of those these days. I have one more to do than I will be back to building the usual truck and 1/35 builds. I have been working on this for some weeks now and have gotten it to this point. The majority of the work is a combination of scratch building, and some kit-bashing. I pretty much used whatever and anything that was in my arsenal. Lots of small bits and pieces went into making this, a somewhat, believable sci-fi transport. I still have a little more work to do on the wagon behind the driver's compartment before calling it done.

Very nice!
What did you use for the cab?
And, if I may suggest? Possibly add something person in the cab, like a lunch box or bottle of water or thermos. Something to show a personal connection and a splash of colour.
But I do like it a lot.

Thank you. I am looking for a figure that will go together with this piece. Have not found one yet. Agree with the little personal effects. The cab is actually from a 1/24 scale toy front loader, which I modified.

Wow!! :smiley:

Thanks fellows. Glad you all like the build.

It looks like you wrapped the seat in some sort of actual fabric. Nice touch.
