That's really a great model Mark! I like the shape, as well as the ammunition
and the "drones". These types of support vehicles look awesome beside mecha
units, almost makes me want to build some.

Cool stuff as always. ;-D

A couple of notes:  All eight wheels turn.  The knobs right behind the feul
cells (gas tanks) operate the steering.  what happens is the front and rear
wheels turn opposite of each other, giving this 20" creation about a two
foot turning radius.
There are some variations, in their own folder.  These reflect my various
stages of construction.  I couldn't decide how best to do this.  First I
started with a carrier version that was made to carry its three drones.
Then I went for a ammo supply version.  That looked kinda bland so I went
for the third try.  this one is a field repair rig with support craft.
(crane, dump truck, and remote repair drone)

Enjoy!
