It's definately an original idea, Geordan. I don't recall seeing many
half-tracks, other than Shaun Sullivan's WWII German vehicle MOC's.
Have you given thought to streamlining it somehow? It seems a bit blocky;
the fronts of the armor skirting for the tracks looks like it might actually
catch on the ground if going over uneven terrain.
Perhaps, bricks permitting, you might want to consider trying to smooth that
area out a little. Flat, vertical faces aren't very strategic - they take
the full force of kinetic and energy weapons head on. Angled armor allows a
vehicle to deflect some or even all of that energy away. Damaged vs
penetrated armor means safer troops and all that. Just a thought.
The colors work well for an APC, though, and I like the use of the angled
cockpit/train piece for the front.

I like this one - it's a nice design with some creative uses of elements.
The body seems just a tad too small to say a fig would comfortably fit, but
if it's more of a hardsuit than battle armor - or if it were unmanned - it
could work. :)

Hope the suggestions help,
Keep up the good work!
