M3 / M5 Half-track by Uncle T

851 bricks.

My version of the US WW 2 M3 / M5 (M5 was mainly the export version and differed little in outer appearance) half-track. This basic version is armed with one .50 caliber machine gun, and it has room for 8 fully equipped Bobs in the back (the real thing had room for 10, but Bob is a chunky boi).

The M3 / M5 came with a variety of armaments, 1-4 machine guns in different positions, AT guns, AA guns etc, and various configurations of roofs and awnings, winches etc, but as I said this is a basic version. It does have the "roller" attachment in the front which was added to prevent the vehicle from getting stuck in deep ditches and trenches.
I will most likely build a few more variants now that I have the basic vehicle.

Info from Wikipedia, somewhat edited.

The M3 half-track was an American armored personnel carrier half-track widely used by the Allies during World War II and in the Cold War. Derived from the M2 half-track car, the M3 was extensively produced, with about 15,000 standard M3s and more than 38,000 variant units manufactured. The M3 was extensively modified with several dozen variant designs produced for different purposes.

During World War II, the M3 and its variants were supplied to the U.S. Army and Marines, as well as British Commonwealth and Soviet Red Army forces, serving on all major fronts throughout the war. The M3 and its variants were produced by many manufacturers including Diamond T, White Motor Company, and Autocar. They were adapted for a wide variety of uses, such as a self-propelled anti-aircraft weapon or self-propelled artillery. Although initially unpopular due to its lack of significant armor or a roof to protect the passengers and crew from shrapnel, it was used by most of the Allies during the war.

The smallest hinges being quite big, especially now we can scale pieces down even further, and the sometimes weird hitboxes in the game made it very glitchy to make the upper door panels fold down so they are fixed I'm afraid.
