Futuristic "bulk hauler"

[Dropshipbob]

This will be another background item for my ALIENS universe. This "bulk hauler" was designed to be a heavy load carrying platform to ferry large machinery or material short distances and to go where larger vehicles cannot while doing so. It has a tethered remote to give the operator freedom of movement and ease of operation.

The treads and the attached chasis were from a NASA toy I picked up from Barnes & Noble. The "bucket" came from a cryopod of some sort that came with an X-Files figures made by McFarlane Toys. The tether was made out of a BBI weapon (some sort of rocket launcher), sections of colored string and bits of a thin straw.

I know the "USA" on the underside sticks out like a sore thumb. I'll be painting over that.

Heh, cool. A few in a train would be neat.

You can get treads from Bruder for relatively cheap. They sell spare parts.
