I haven't been here in ages. Nothing new in quite a long long while.
Well, who doesn't like to refight WW2 with modern ideas?

I took a German WW2 armored scoutcar and turned it into a 8 wheel APC platform. When I was taking measurements using a 2m man, I discovered it was too small for my purposes. I had to double the volume.
The versions I've done are a standard APC armed with a 50 cal M2 BMG and a 30 cal.
Next is the same armament but in a turret.
Then with a M8 greyhound turret that has a 37mm gun and 30 cal.
Next to that I used a M22 locust turret, virtually the same thing as before but I added 4 bazooka tubes. Yes, that's right. I made a WW2 LAV. To reload the bazookas under fire I put in a roof hatch.
Next is a Fire Support version with a M8 Scot turret. It ahs a short barreled 75mm howitzer.
Last in the line is a 75mm Ant-Tank cannon version.
I did not make a artillery version or MLRS. The arty would screw up the shocks. I have other plans for both.

I felt I needed to show the size difference with my APC and it's progenitor. I kept the shape but doubled the internal size and stretched out the back. I added the BTR-80 to show a modern comparison for scale.
