DONE Global freezing ONE-TWO-THREE

[loupgarou]

A grimmer scenario than the beer delivery system:
After a period of severe global warming, the BillGates' chemtrail emissions (or it was Egon Musk's ?) combined with 5G radiations caused a reversal of the Earth magnetic field and a dramatic change in temperature: the northern emisphere had 6 months of terrifying snowfalls every year, followed by6 months of tropical heat.
Who survived the first winter had to quickly develop different means of transport in order to move essential supplies around, so a range of strange contraptions, based on existing vehicles appeared.
This is the first one, hopefully it will be followed by others.
The base kit - it's a disgraceful one    - : SDV DP-90, with an ancient Herpa cab, possibly a DAF.







After some quick cut and glue:





and with the cab test fitted:

I am working on 2 other contraptions, will put all 3 together here to avoid flooding the GB with sillynesses.
ADDENDUM to the story: transportation firms in the emergency used old surplus military equipment and cabs and other parts from scrap heaps, didn't waste newer motor equipment that could be used in better times. And paint was used only when strictly necessary, so the vehicles were a patchwork from various sources.
Some of the items and parts, from my personal scrap-heap, that could be used:


This one is perfect, the cab won't need a paint job, has a beautiful post apocalyptic look:



And work is progressing. Tanks and air bottles had to be moved in order to leave space for the tracks.





In the meantime, the first one, already presented, is complete:

Has its roots in the TrackRover perhaps?

Oh Yes!

[Captain Canada]

Very nice ! I need to source out some more HO scale armour for a train I'm working on. Need some M113s.

...to avoid flooding the GB with sillynesses...

Why would you want to do that?   

[loupgarou]

Completed work on the other 2.
Number TWO: the M107/110 without gun is a ready made tractor.





and with its semi-trailer.





Number THREE: another transportation firm chose a different approach, to avoid modifying too much its not-too-old semi trailers:
old trucks were roughly converted to half-tracks, were not even given a cab paint job, and the semis retained their wheels in order to be used also in the warm season.

I like these   

Now do we get to see their "Global Warming" equivalents ?

Very good. Nicely done.

They'd have to be amphibious.
