Yeah, I figure the lead engineer for this project was this guy.



"The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence... sort of like the Post Office with tanks." - Emo Philips

I keep finding bits and pieces meant for the original concept, like this pair of Remote Control Weapons Stations (RCWS) armed with NSVT 12.7 mm HMGs (DML Naval Infantry figure shown for scale).


They would have filled the two turret hatches, oriented respectively to the 12 and 6 o'clock positions. Now that this build has transitioned to an abandoned project worthy of STALKER, they are redundent.

In reality, while the Russians are still behind on this, the Indians have been working on their own spin. https://www.armyrecognition.com/march_2020_news_defense_global_security_army_industry/india_has_developed_new_remotely_weapon_station_armed_with_nsvt_12.7mm_machine_gun.html


Was going through my photo albums, realized I actually started another thread on this three years ago.

Yikes. I started this thing over four years ago (and it was a WIP then)

So over the past weeek I rolled around in a pile of epiphanies and figured out where this mastodon is to wind up.

Thanks for the preemptively kind words, but I got distracted before putting the final touches on it (which was an exercise in how to replicate blue tarping).



Administrative note - that's a pair of road wheels under the gun tube. You'll notice when a breach block has been removed or there's no hydraulic pressure left, tubes will droop like an octogenarian's gonads.

I wanted it to look like a Gopnik hangout, but ... just don't have to inspiration to make a bunch of crushed beer cans from sprue bits. Also, the side skirt graffiti is too clean.

MODERATOR - is there an easy way to blend the prequel thread into this one?
