Description
Here are several views of a fictional exploration vehicle I designed and built a few years ago. I had read a novel by Basil Copper called"The Great White Space" which was a kind of Lovecraft pastiche but I enjoyed it and have read it several times. In the book, a scientific expedition strikes out across a desert (possibly the Gobi; it's not mentioned by name) in a convoy of sturdy tracked vehicles. I liked the idea so I designed it partially based on the description in the book, but mostly by my own whim. It's about 1:35 scale (or 54 mm) which makes it 5" tall. The track plates were individually cast and assembled, the body is made of sheet styrene plastic with other details made from scrap parts or cast in resin like the treads. (wheels and tires. Fuel drums etc.) The design allows the treads to be removed when the vehicle needs to drive on a paved road.
