September 2013 Entry: Tundra Crawler

[EricPoehlsen]

So I got a concept to map. A 'Tundra Crawler' - a wheeled container/expedition ship for arctic use ... more to come, no showable WIP yet ...

### LATEST WIP ###

A little something to show my general idea.
As for the dimensions, the boxes are 20ft ISO Containers - so this module would be about 85 meters x 15 meters ...

[EricPoehlsen]

So i did a frame for the container modules, reworked the wheel mounts. Just copy-pasted three modules so it looks like something ...

I worked a little bit on the container-modules and the crane ...

[EricPoehlsen]

Some work done on a fuel-module, the command module and the engine module ...

[EricPoehlsen]

Some more work on the command module ...

### LATEST WIP ###

[EricPoehlsen]

So next step - added another living compartment, reworked the fuel module, now using a container module with fuel containers

To be done: the crane module needs a control-cabin. Mapping the interior of a few containers, add some cutaways ...

Current vehicle dimension ~140m (460ft) x 15m (50ft)

You should come visit Churchill manitoba Canada, we have something like these. Inflatable tires can shatter when it gets too cold and the weight forces them to have any kind of a flat bottom which causes an edge while driving. My brother in law guards ice roads to diamond mines and has many great ice road disaster stories.

With your living compartments this is really starting to come together in my head now as I can get a sense of scale. I like the idea a lot.

[EricPoehlsen]

I added two semi trucks, to add a feeling for the scale of this thing.
