Infinity Combined army Morat AFV [toybash]
 
Welcome
 
Today(well over a few months depending on procrastination) we’re going to turn this Transformer
 

 
Into an AFV for these guys
 


I managed to pick up a battered version of this toy from Ebay for a cheeky £5. 
The shape reminds me of the Kett vehicles in Mass Effect Andromeda and seems angular enough for the Combined arms Morat.


 
It is a bit taller than I would have liked it, but given the brutal nature of the Morats I think I can sell it in my head that it’s that size for intimidation, and maybe so it can carry a Raicho (curled up) in the back.
 
 
 
Project plan
1. Remove any unnecessary parts
2. Glue Transforming parts together (and the wheels, the wheels sound like fingers on a chalk board when they turn)
3. Fill in any unwanted gaps
4. Add a floor to the bottom of the kit where the parts will be removed.
5. Make/buy 4 missiles to go into the side launchers.
6. Make/Buy 2 HMGs for the top of the truck
7. Add additional small details, extra step and handrail etc for the door
8. Undercoat
9. Fill any missed/Ugly gaps.
10. Paint.
11. Profit.
 
Thanks for looking if you've any suggestions on where i could pick up some Missiles or Morat esque Guns please let me know.

Nice find for a fiver! Looking forward to seeing how it comes out. I think some Tau weapons could work for Morats chunky but techno looking?

Looks like an awesome choice for the Morat I like how imposing it is, really fits their design as well. I think the size could also be for all the lectronics used in the game for espionage and countering them.
