AndyVery cool indeed Nick!
The paintjob is stunning and adds to make the thing look REAL....
..... In fact,I wouldn't be surprised if you could actually get that manufactured and sell loads of em
Superb stuff mate, love it!
Andy
Now ive done this in 72nd, there is a wee urge to do an upgraded one in 35th, now ive worked out the mechanics lol
Many thanks bud, glad you like him, if it was real i don't know what the MPG would be, or how expensive to run. No traffic jams, just go x country as the crow flies

Nick, I'm another late catch-upper (if that word has a meaning...) but I'm fascinated by your job: it's wonderful
.
It shows what a modeller can achieve with a lot of imagination and skills without spending huge amounts of money and getting a lot of fun (but far less sleep).:sleeping:
Have you thought to sell the idea to Lucas Film? Il Levriero would be in his habitat on Tatooine, unless he occasionally has to look for a tree ... :smiling4:

The main body is obvious, you mentioned that yourself
I can’t place the turret, but you mentioned it’s Modelcollect, and looking at their site I get the impression it could well be off their “E60” what-if German tank destroyer. The sides of the “head” are the sides of a Sherman (or M3 medium) final drive housing. No idea about the triangular parts under the wheel wells, and though the sprocket under the front looks familiar, I can’t place it.Jakko
Yup on the body,
Yes M3/M4 final drives
Turret was spare from a MC E60 Sabelzahntiger sprue.... so yes.
Those 'familiar' bits...... keep thinking lol
20 points to you

Would love too, but one thinks there is many bits obviously identified, then there is the copyright thing, if all scratched then why not
Many many thanks for dropping in and enjoying
