[TC17] WIP Scavenger

[Akassin]

Hello
I joined the contest late. But I hope that I have time to finish this MOC.
It will be a large mobile platform, which is adapted for long survival in the wasteland. This transport will be able to hunt other survivors, as well as collect the debris found and process them for further sale of raw materials.
Of course, this requires a fast and powerful engine. And I started with the design of the front of the platform in which it is located. The front of the chassis will be wheeled, the rear on the tracks.
To be continued ...

Sorry for the low-light photo

Wow, this looks promising... Going by the scale of the bonnet/nose compared to the wheels and front window, the engine must be some kind of airplane engine or something equally large. It definitely looks impressive!

Added some progress. Made tracks for the rear platform.

Some progress
Built a crane boom with a grip. The location and mounting of the crane is temporary. In the future it will be on the turntable. The boom will rise by the LA actuator. Bending and opening of the gripper using pneumatics.

Temporarily removed the decor of the Mad Max style, because it interferes with further construction. The whole style will be added at the end.

Built weapons for my transport.
These are ballista.
They reload  and shoot manually
The right black handle serves as a reload of weapons (it compresses the spring). At the end of reloading, the spring is automatically locked.
For the shot, use the left gray handle.

The spear flies about one meter

Really interesting build so far, I like the idea of ballista. Looking forward to seeing the final apocalyptic styling

Thanks. The most difficult technical stage remained ahead, because I want eight functions to work from one motor. After that I will proceed to the MadMax design.

But this will be done at the expense of form, not color. Because I don’t have brown and sand details. Red-black color scheme will remain

This is probably the last progress before the final version.
From the main left to finish the gearbox and add exterior decor.

A large chopper is made in the back.
Ballist shapes slightly changed and shooter seats added

getting closer to the finish
It remains to finish the cab and some design elements
The crane was completely changed because it looked too high-tech for the theme of the competition. Along with this, the type of work of the claw was changed. Now it sinks on the cable
