Hakan Güney (known as 'Tankfreak' at Missing-Lynx Forums) is his name and Armoured Fighting Vehicle Blog is where you will find him and a number of interesting fictional and speculative modeling projects under construction and finished. 

This image shows one of his more recent completed projects that was based on a die-cast metal model to which he applied a few modifications:

Some of this work is a bit over the top on letting the imagination run wild but the little Jeep appears to be quite conservative and more to my liking.  If you took a look at his other work you can really appreciate what he is capable of creating.  I am still trying to figure out what he is up to in his latest installment with that little German half-track project.

It appears that Herr Stug has finished a couple of his projects and has posted a number of images showing off his latest work.

The T-80 Extended

Not sure where the tires and wheels originated but there is a T-80 tank and a BMP apc somewhere in that mass of kit bashed parts.

Herr Zaman? I do believe the correct Turkish would be either Gönderen bey or Bay Zaman.  ;)

Herr Stug has finished another what-if project.  This time it is based on the MTLB and it is converted from tracks to wheels.  It looks like an armed and armored pickup truck ------> ......MT-LB/2.......

Check Gönderen's main page of his blog to see the other what-if projects that are still under construction or have been recently completed.

Hello, newcomer here. What I am about to say is not anything worth actually mentioning . Maybe only to post and that's all. The blogger is named Stug, gönderen means the sender/poster and zaman is time.

Thank you for pointing out the mistakes.  It was easy enough to misinterpret what was presented on Stug's page since most of the descriptions were in English language I was led to believe that the wording was telling me that this was his name.  I am changing the original post to and the title of each comment to correct this mistake.

Mistakes? It was more like I could post something. Turkish can confuse the Turks themselves. Keep up the good work, I really like finding such wealth of inspiration in concentration.

This one looks like some kind of post-apocalyptic dune buggy, to me. Awesome stuff! 8)

That MT-LB/2 would also look the part as a half-track.

Looks like a serious kit-bashing session with an M923 series 5t truck and a Puma helicopter fuselage.  Interesting combination of model subjects.
