Hey all,

I got this old GI Joe Cobra tracked vehicle hull as a basis for a 28mm-scale VSF landship

Current thoughts:

Lean into a pulp/Victorian sci-fi aesthetic
Add riveted armor plates, exhaust stacks, and external piping
Build up the top deck into a command platform or turret
The scale actually feels surprisingly usable for 28mm once you imagine it as a heavy industrial crawler or oversized landship.

Things I’m trying to figure out:
Should I keep the exposed tracks or armor them in?
Good ideas for the large opening on top?
Any recommendations for bits/greebles that would help sell the scale?

Would love to see examples if anyone has done similar toy-to-28mm conversions. Kitbash advice, scale tricks, and cautionary tales all welcome. Thanks!
