LBraden,

Nice drawing!

So what do you require to do this? A line drawing of some kind? I run across the odd ones of Unimogs on the net, I could post them here or PM you?

yeah, I tend to resize and trace over them, makes it easier when you have a few fiddly parts, also makes sure you do not put the headlights in the wrong place.

L,

I see what you mean, it's hard to find line-art with the squared-off nose instead of the rounded ones of the earlier model. As for the details, even scales, bear in mind Morrow Industries (and its subsidiaries known and unknown) will be manufacturing these designs, usually under licence. So if they want to stretch the wheelbase of the XR311 to make it more like the Lambourghini Cheetah version, they can!

Here are some Unimog line art pictures for reference:

Not exactly line art but what I imagine the armed Unimogs for MPCanada look like:

I actually thought you were going to PM me them mate, but, okay, will see what I can make out of them, though, oddly, it seems that its front is slightly more rounded that I remember, and lets not forget



I am calling that done for now, yes its slightly bigger, but I could not work out how the 6 wheeled ATV, HAAM suits and micro-light are stored, unless they are stored up top, but there ya go.

EDIT: I just realized. this is the FIRST tracked vehicle I have ever started and completed.... but then again, when my last tracked project was a modification of the Panzer L1500, kinda understandable.

Sorry for any miscommunication, my thought was to either post or PM and as I wasn't aware of a preference I went with what I figured was easiest. Would you like for me to delete the post or convert images to links to clean up the thread? You should have the pictures already, anyways.

At any rate, love the Sci-One. Nice job! The Unimogs line-art I dug up are probably older models but suitable enough for a version produced in the 80's.

I hit a bit of a creative slump, so I just put these together on a page for peeps to use on small vehicles, or places (possibly even as patches on M100 scale people - http://www.swdesignalliance.com/foru...p?topic=1081.0 )

Lee,

These seem nice, but some of the nomenclature seems military in nature. The Project is a private organisation, I would think it has "divisions", not "corps", for example. (While the name "division" is technically that of a military unit it's not quite the same in this context.)

As well, replacements are usually called "Frozen Watch". Not all replacements are FW because some will be deployed in installations, but FW are organised into field teams and deployed in independent bunkers that could (and probably should) be issued vehicles.

Basically, great work!

You were looking for some of this stuff to make models from?

[LBraden]

Aye, those are a big help, just suffering with creative block, have been for over a year, hopefully I can start drawing again soon.

I was just sat reading Tuvie that I frequent daily and noticed this on the main page

I think that the Project may have come up with something similar, your thoughts/suggestions?
