Found a nice armor whiff on Missing-Lynx (posted in the appropriate thread) that had a link to a site that lead to these.













You can find these and others here.

I always thought it might be neat to do something with 1/35 dinosaurs.  It's nice to see I was right.

The second piece is an impressive kitbash, given that that Hardgraph truck was originally a hovercraft.

found this in a book on history of sci-fi ...

you may as well all give up -- the truth is much stranger than fiction.

I'm not sick ... just a little unwell.

Absolutely! :thumbsup: Fantastic work!  Must say I think it looks better with tracks. The original design, well, it looked like the wheels had just fallen off the truck - all at once! :lol: 
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

That's John Payne, from the Starship Modeler site.  His work is awesome.  I think he's best known for his Trek kitbashes, but he's done some great whiffs too.
