hello, Charlie from China here
, we have a relatively small community here but we are nonetheless very active.
I recently brought a WWII APC from the Chinese ebay equivalent (xianyu) for 19 yuan which is about 3 quid. But when i got the thing i realised it was 1:72 and was too small.
I thought: what the hell, let's make it something else.
So, i cut it in half and start to play with it, then i thought this look like a trukk, and i start to work towards it.
i'm only half way through brainstorming, but it's looking like "going the right direction".
What do you think? Please give suggestions. Thanks.

I used some leftover bits and joined the body with my orky wheels, then cut up some cardboard to make a bulldozer front ... thing sample ( i have no idea what it's called, English not that good). Then i just started to add small piece of plastic cards (2mm) here and there. I tried to attach the trukk pole bits thingy but it didn't fit well. Then i thought, hey, ork shouldn't care about that, hence the makeshift looking joints at the back.(held together by orkish belief
