OMWB: M2084 Conversion and Progress shots

I got distracted by a post on on social media, as one does, by Rattapoom Kotchapong about making a HEMTT like truck. Excited by the tease, I offered him some reference pictures (some being 36mb of pics).

So I pulled down one of my two Matchbox HEMTTs and starting working on scaling one to match my mecha by first comparing it to an old 15mm HEMTT casting from QRF. 


After comparing the length, I was satisfied I could convert the Matchbox 8x8 into a 10x10. I'm basing my M2084 HEMTT on the Oshkosh 10x10 HEMTT PLS, which is larger than the earlier 8x8 series (HEMTT portal).

After cutting the castings apart, the major job will be narrowing the cab and engine casing.

 
All I can say is that I have a lot of work ahead of me. The price of me being me.
