LE, the old one has been scrapped for parts. I made a few errors with the first one, namely that some of the greebleys  were not properly fixed on and as the vehicle was played with parts just fell off.

This next version is a paid job so I am making sure that all of the parts are screwed down rather than glued, meaning it will be a playable toy as well as a neat custom. Also the buyer had asked for a civillian transport, no guns, so the design differs from the last version to reflect this.

That looks fabulous, Jules!  I've got some civvie stuff in mind to make and believe me, I'm borrowing inspiration from you!

(I'm sure you've said it before, but what is the cab on this vehicle from??  The bed is from a Wall-E toy, right?)

Doc,

The whole vehicle is the Wall-e truck minus the wheels. I've added engines and a few greebleys that is all.

Excellent - then I don't need to hunt down two different vehicles!   :D

How many of these Wall-E trucks do you have? I never even saw a single one in stores :(

Jules, this already looks awesome. Time to go to the front page.

I have got to track down one of these trucks.

I only have one, which has now been cannibalised, the other was sent to me by someone who wanted me to customise it.  ;D

Jules, I love all the versions of the Wall-E truck that you have made. Including this WIP too. I can't wait to see the paint job. Don't kill me..... but I would love to take the tracks off your hands of this vehicle like I did last time. ; I think with four sets of tracks I could make a killer sand/snow crawler. Could you imagine a Turbotank Crawler?!  Let me know. Cheers.

It's ok Jules. I have so many projects that I need to finish it's not funny. I had to ask though, can't pass up fodder like those monster tank treads.

Beat me to it, CS  :D Jules is fast becoming a Wall-E truck magnet or something. I've had one for some time now and just like you, I'm itching to make some sort of Jawa transport of it. But I need treads  ;D Maybe it's time I build them from scratch then...

Jules, I'm positive this is going to be another mind blowing vehicle. When I read you're about to head out to the paint booth, I immediately thought "This is going to be goooood!" :) Will you be detailing the inside as well, like you did last time?

Yes Incom I'll be adding decals and other details to this one. I'm also about to try some paneling airbrush effects. More wip images shortly...
