Need some feedback. Too much? Too little?

I'm considering throwing some guns on the base of the crane arm and making it a razorback, but w/o them I could probably use it as a stand-in for a Damocles (though with my techmarine flavor). I've got a big comm array I could swap into the spot and I toyed with mounting the lifter off one of the smaller hatches (which I could do, it's only dry-fit right now).

So ... move the lifter arm to a smaller attachment point and put in a big comms rig / place to razorback it if it comes up? As-is?

Antenna array is from a land-raider; barrels are from a generic scenery bundle I had around. Wheels are from a WW1 tank model. Crate is from a rhino kit. Gears are from a generic hobby-shop "gears" for scrap-booking, jewelry, etc. Purity seals are from various places (some may be Anvil). Dozer, lifter arm and baseplate for the lifter arm are Bitspudlo.

The bulldozer blade looks like it could do with something like a pair of hydraulic rams to the front of the vehicle say half way up - just looks a bit flimsy for the size of the blade, but otherwise I love it.

Perhaps a few tow cables looped around, a retaining strap or two on the oil barrel and a toolbox or something near the spare wheels on the top at the front, different from the one behind it - maybe half covered with a tarp?, but overall thats very nice, the crane arm looks very much in keeping with it

Looks good - the only thing that doesn't fit for me is the random cog-wheel on the front plate. If you could find an actual Techmarine logo instead, butt he random "gear" doesn't look right. All in all though a nice idea and good build.

@Leopard

The dozer has two big arms, but they are undermounts. I'll see if there's a good place to attach others for beefy looking factor. Somewhere around here I have a razorback sprue tow-cable, and maybe that will be a decent addition.

@Elbows

I feel you on the gear. I'd love to find a large enough skull to make THAT the emblem, but finding those isn't super easy. I can find larger sized demon, animal, etc. but straight human-ish is rough. I've got plenty of smaller sizes, but maybe I'll see about hunting up some bigger ones ... or just pop the gear off.

More to the point, I think the front is under-whelming. Hmm.

Another question - would it be too much if I replaced the front two hatch covers with an old metal comms-array like on the original Whirlwind kit?
