I found a use for it at my workplace doing promo work and I just finished it enough for that. Now it has been at my work for the past two years and I'm thinking about retiring it and taking it home to do the final pieces of work (add lights etc).

Here are two recent pictures of it in it's current shape:

One of the things I have to fix, is the left track motor. After a truck transport from the other side of Norway, the back platform had been broken off on both sides and the track motor did not run. I think maybe it was attempted lifted in the plastic, it broke and the whole thing crashed to the ground. But I don't know exactly since I wasn't there. Anyways, it has to be fixed.

Heavy as it is and with all that force on the track tensioner, I actually had to make a little plan on how to go about it, almost like on a real machine. I put it on it's side and got to work. Luckily I had a replacement motor lying around:



















Finally back in shape!
