T-72 Perevozchik. Some pics pg 5.

Sides of the cab are in place.  Time for greebles.

As we all know, one can never, ever have too many greebles.  I am most intrigued to find which specific greebles you have in mind in this case.

Additional alternate load - to be reconfigured as a fuel/water/vodka container.

That will be one huge fuel/vodka tank!! It'll give the Ukrainian guys with Javelin missiles and electric bikes something spectacular to shoot at!

That cab is looking nice, UFO's SHADOW2 inspired by any chance?

I have the title music stuck in my head now:

It's funny, I don't remember 1980 looking like that...

Scratch-building today - stairs and a hot-tub.
Primer on the prime-mover.

Ah! He's wearing an ushanka! At first I thought it was a Morris dancer's hat*!

LOVE the hot tub!

If it's Russian then you need a collection of sticks so they can beat each other in the hot tub.

...is this referring to using a birch bunch to beat oneself and each other with the leaves (as opposed to the branch or the trunk itself) in a sauna (I fail to see how this would work in a hot tub), or is the Russian bathing culture just a wee bit more extreme than I imagined?

Definitely not an expert on that subject just thinking back to when a Soviet leader invited an American president to join him in a sauna and it involved whacking each other. Can't remember if it was Gorby and Reagan or after that. The invitation was not accepted.
BTW, the transporter is looking great!

Prime mover is painted.  Weathering next.
I shall be completing this part first as should I fail to complete the camper body I can still enter the prime mover alone in the GB.

I'm calling this part nearly finished.  Just needs the rear window fitting plus the fuel tanks I forgot to attach to the rear.

This VEHICLE looks as though it would suit the DROPS / PLS / EPLS system, with the attachment of a suitable pick up hook

Initially I saw this only as transporting the camper body which would have been permanently mounted.  However as it evolved I realised it should be demountable and progress is good on the second load (the Vegemite/Beer/Blue Cheese salad dressing tanker).  Alas, by that point it was too late to add an offload system without major reworking so loading and off loading is by crane.  I have added lifting points to the top of the camper body and the tank frame will have them built in.

Later versions of the <insert name here> have a motor driven winch mounted behind the cab which when combined with ramps allowed payloads to be loaded autonomously.
