Hey all & a Merry Christmas.

Right then,any idea what maybe a good TRACKED body to build the Scorpion/Scimitar/Saber & the rest of the Alvis CVR(T) from??

I had thought possibly the Wolverine,though alas l don`t have one at present,so to you guys l ask,does the Wolverine fit the bill (scale wise)?if not any suggestions?

here`s a picture of a Scimitar in UN colours...........

Thank`s guys & All the Best for 2005

well ive toyed with this one before as i spent twelve years in one of these aluminium cans the wolverine would make a agood base the driver is the wrong side but the turret would be the problem what to use!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive got two good models then one battered wolverine so i might have a go

Ahh even better a Ex Recce crewman to help me/us all

Moving the driver part wasn`t the problem l don`t think,plasticard & dremel will work wonders

As for the turret,how about the one from the Chap mei range of figures & vehicles.They do a 4 wheel armoured car. Turret from there now may work for either the Scorpion,Scimitar or the one with the Fox turret (don`t know it`s name).

Just an idea on that though.

Cheer`s for the nod for the Wolverine base

Now to gather a couple of wolverine chassis`s together

You might want to find a GI JOE Lynx it was part of the Slaughters Marauders subset, its the Wolverine base with a gun turret intead of the rocket launchers. The turret would prolly be good you would just have to modify or change the barrell. You can look it up on YOJOE.com them click in vehicles and then they are listed in alphebetical order.
