I'm putting this under the Motorsports section cause it's not a Muscle Car/Hot Rod, and it's definitely not a street machine, and since it's used for winter sports I'm gonna put it in the Motorsports section.
Since seeing this thing back in 2014 I've been wanting to build one
As you can see, no tires. This beast runs on Mattracks tank style tracks like these
Starting point, Revell's extremely nice and well detailed Ford Raptor Snapkit.
First step, some body mods. Front bumper and rear roll pan removed.
Tailgate removed too..
Next, I started on the chassis, since there's no tires, I dont need the spare under the box so out it comes.
I'm in the process at the moment of removing the exhaust beyond the rear axle, and hollowing out underneath it so it "floats". All the removed areas will be filled in with some plastic card.
I ordered the tracks from Shapeways, they're in production right now and hopefully will be here by the end of next week. Here's a shot of the design.
Paint will likely come from Gravity Colors, they wont be exact, but I can live with that. Decals will be a mix of what I have from the parts box and probably a set of Ken's rally decals off ebay.
That's all for now, thanks for looking.
Comments and criticisms welcome.
