I did take a year to do- but part time I must add! The budget on this was ‘tight’ so it was an evening job for me in my spare time;-) I found Glenn’s comments above a bit harsh- seeing as we scaled DIRECTLY from a Licensed Mcfarlane toy!- check out: http://www.themodelmaker.co.uk/WarthogDiary/Buildup06sml.jpg/bmi_orig_img/Buildup06sml.jpg and http://www.themodelmaker.co.uk/WarthogDiary/warthog.html To see the actual toy, and how its windshield is in 3d reality and how it matches ours ;-) Any other points are mainly budget lead- we simply hadn’t the money for some of the more radical stuff- hence the sectioned windscreen. Check out some upcoming articles for some more pictures. HI-

A single good hit and he or she wouldn't be able to shoot much, all that vibration and a bullet wound? Ouch! That turret also offers horrible protection for the gunner.

So, here's the reason for a RHD (Right Hand Drive) Warthog. The Warthog, like most UNSC vehicles, is designed around a modular system. This allows for the swapping out of a mounted M41 LAAG (Light Anti-Aircraft Gun), M68 mounted Gauss cannon, a 102mm SC-HE rocket turret, or a troop transport compartment. Because of this modular design, and the fact that the Warthog uses a "drive by wire" control system, the Warthog can be reconfigured to fit almost any need of the soldiers who are operating it, including changing the side on which the steering wheel is located. Now, that's not cannon but it makes quite a bit of sense when you think about it. Also, a tidbit that is cannon, a RHD Warthog would not have a unique identification number. It would be the same as a LHD (Left Hand Drive) Warthog.
