                        Can you imagine how stifling it would be having to operate such a vehicle, especially with a uniform of sorts on? Talk about out of the pan and into the fire....whew!

                        WOW, never seen that subject before!Smile [:)] Now that is an old vehicle, all the way back from the Boer War of 1898-1900. But I can't really see your detail, because your pics came out a bit dark and fuzzy.

                        Well, it certainly is different.  Was it used to tow stuff, or just scare the locals?

                        I mostly build cars, and the occaissional plave and science fiction model, but this looked like an interesting subject, and a pretty straightforward build.  Built from scratch, mostly from Evergreen styrene sheet.
