Here is my latest project. It is the Snowram from BSG (TOS) in 1:32 scale designed by Revell-fan, and is available here in the download section.
I am building this one the same way (with extra added detail) as I build the other two Landrams

Starting with the lights and main wind screen. I raised the lens panels.

On to the ground plate, and running gear.
 
Thank you for the kind words of encouragement, and the link. Those photos are really good for the interior. I will talk to Revell-fan about an add-on kit for the LR (as well as forward this link to him.)

I have thought about the interior for this, but I am too far along. I would have to start all over again. Although (for future builds before the add-on kit is made), I could use parts from the Chariot to creat an interior based on the photos in the link that you sent me.
 
Long time no see ASC. I am glad you like it. What sort of project do you have going now?

Ground plate assembled

Main gear drive added (As you can see, I raised some of the detail of the gear box.)
(I also took the tow hitch off the chariot and added it to the Snowram for added detail).

Now on to the wheels and treads.
 
Good job! And good that you mention the Chariot. Recently I found out that I erred when I christened that model. What I called "Chariot" is actually the Colonial "Power Sled". The "Chariot" is the vehicle from "Lost In Space". Sorry! :oops:
 
I just found a set of rubber tracks in my Barn. I think I could make one of these using them. The motor and chassis are there, too wide but could be cut down, or a new one made, so I have the wheels and all. I like these things. Hmmm!?!
 
Lovely! I think the Ram is one of the few vehicles which literally scream for being built with working lights and a motor.
 
Update

I have started on the gun turret.

Here is the blast armor for the gun.

Here is the fire control unit.
As you can see, I have recessed the screen, raised the button panels, and made the handles thicker so the fire buttons would look like real buttons.

Cargo / gunner section is mounted to the rest of the SR.
