This bit just raises the rest above the treads. I've got the US M3 Halftrack in mind, even though the treads on that old legend were set up differently. Either way, the Large Zinge tires are my only available options for the front wheels.
Right now, I think I'm going to steal heavily from this design
-at least that's the plan right now, may change, I dunno.

I like the concept/idea you're aiming for.
Are you going to have the large drive wheel for the track forward or back? I'd have thought forward.

I'll be disappointed if you don't recreate some of those details on your build, well maybe I won't it'll still be awesome, but it'd be nice.

What I hint we see is the difference between 28mm scale and heroic 28mm scale, which I think should be renamed "rivet scale".

As you can see the 28 mm size is too puny to handle rivets of Dave's caliber. Thus a new creation must be developed, an the engineering must pass the test of holding 28 rivets

Like the idea of the half track, but do have to agree about needing the big drive wheel in the front.

Also, Dave, all you have to do is look at my thread for inspirations, just smaller scale than I have done with my monster sized beasts of steel! I also plan on future to order more Zinge tracks for some light tanks to make as subs for sentinels, and Zinge's basic wheels and trads remind me of the Renault FT somewhat.

Well, this was an enjoyable Sunday project to get the hobby blood pumping again, not being a perfectionist, or even historically accurate... just modeling and painting wargame style.

Nice work Dave! that looks sweet :-) the dusting over the main colour is simple but makes it work so well! and it's great to see you doing something tangible again, another project for the museum of Dave! I must visit one day as long as admission isn't too steep?

It looks simple, but painting Olive Drab to scale is more difficult than you might think. I used three shades of OD, and three weathering powders, including white. I think I am in love with white weathering powders now.
It needs stowage and the .50 gunner needs more work on his face still.

Oh phew! lucky we have a lifetime membership to enter Museum of Dave! I mean, after one visit i'm sure we'll want to go back again and again! especially as we've also seen the sort of food served at the on site cafe! brisket anyone?... Mmmm yes please!

Oh I have no illusions that painting Olive drab was easy! it's an entirely different skill set to paint historicals and similar models, have you seen some of Sons of Orar's work on here? I can't seem to believe how someone so young can paint like that! when are you gonna do the stowage and face? should be sweet when you finish it!

that halftrack looks sweet!... really ...that Olive Drab looks very good... you gotta love that WWII look!... also thanks for showing how tiny compared to heroic scale the bolt action stuff is... i really had played in my mind with the thought of getting me some vehicles one day o another for my own dirty needs.... i think i better stick to scratchbuilding then^^

and for your own creation...

i think the ground level... there is something wrong wth the level of the bottom plate... the wheels and the tracks are a bit lopsided it seems?...

will this be an open top drivers compartment or closed?...

looking forward to more revalations

I had to lower the front to be level, if I had slightly larger tires, it would look better, but this is all I have to work with. 'm borrowing heavily from the M3 halftrack, the lower plate looks off now, but it will be the running boards to get into the cab, I'll make 40k-ified fenders that angle up and over the front wheels, no curves. I'm not yet sure how the cab will be yet, but I'd like a Chimera-type Multilaser or lascannon turret where the .50 ring is on the M3, offset on the passenger-side. I don't care if 40K is British, my Gak is driven on the correct (left side)

LOL... yeah... left side drivers for the win^^

and angeled fenders ... those vehicles need to look as archaic as possible... and thus angled is 100% better than smooth curves!

for now i rest my case with the lower plate

we do have faith....and rivtes... lots of rivets^^

Good job on the M3 paintjob.

Mark 5 half track looks the biz' on first impressions.
Ground clearance doesn't look too great, but that probably won't look so bad with the cab, etc. built around it.
The height of the running boards looks fine though.

Ha, it's called the "Right" side for a reason (although that argument works both ways ), but I would have been surprised if you had built it right hand drive.

Looks like a winner for now. Keep at it.

Dave, some of the pics start here and continue further back in the updates.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dreamforge-games/something-wicked-this-way-comes-crusader-plastic-m/posts?page=10

You can probably find more at his website

http://www.dreamforge-games.com/

We are anxiously awaiting stage 2 deliveries now, stage three is also delayed, but o glorious day when it arrives. I got on of the crusaders, pics in my gallery with an attempt at lighting it up, also in my gallery is pics of the still unassembled resin version he first made available.

I'm planning on using the Eisenkern as either van Saar, or as adept us arbites. They are beautiful models, multiparty plastic, and the accessory sprue comes decked out with so much goodness.

Let me know what you think of them. He is developing his own game system as well. All the models are being produced by wargamesfactory factory, so the price is definitely right.

They are larger than GW, but the hangman will be roughly th size of a land raider and have parts to have 10 troopers actually harnessed in the back, or extra conversion bits.
