by Dale Kelly

Scale: 1/24 (ish)

As “Robo Tech” machines were built Earth Forces had to developed and test some system independently. As the Tomahawk was developed the weapons system was ready before the main mechanical body was complete. To test it in combat and to get effective weapons to war quickly this interim vehicle was produced. It had the official name of High Speed Armored Weapons Platform (HSAWP).

This model is based on an old Playschool “Big Foot” truck of my sons. (He out grew it, I didn’t just take it from him.) The weapons and many parts do come from a “Robo Tech” Tomahawk that did not survive a house move. It also has parts from a AC- 130 gun ship model that was destroyed by a surface to air Nerf ball thrown in the house. There are several home made parts on the vehicle as well. The commanders hatch is a shampoo top.

The front brush guard is a section of sprue with hardware screen and electrical connectors for lights. Automobile fuses are used as ammo canisters.

This was my first kitbash and was done before I owned and air brush or a moto tool. What scale is it? I don't know, let's call it 1:24 scale.
