After a while without posting I have finally uploaded pictures of
my model of a WWII German tracked tractor called Raupenschlepper Ost.
Please visit http://www.geocities.com/johnny-thunder/MOC/RSO.html
and let me know what you think.

Very spiffy.

I love how you got the track wheels to be 1/2 stud offset. This unit fits in
anywhere from WW II to arctic/antarctic expiditions of the 50's/60s (in
different colors, say Orange?) or even on US ski hills of the 1980s (if they
aren't really prosperous)

Bravo

Thanks. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to use any other kind of
(smaller) wheels due to the triangular "guides" on the tracks. Also it
cannot be made narrover.

I can see how to make a tracked vehicle two studs narrower (but not
necessarily with the 1/2 stud spaced bogie wheels) by using the 1x2 bricks
with technic pegs instead of the 2x4 ones... or am I missing something there?

I think your vehicle is about the right width for the prototype though.

(...) You are absolutely right but the cab would then have to be raised to make room for the tracks beneath. It would then be much taller and that would make it an entirely different vihicle. (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.military)
