This one is a Bombardier J-5 tractor platform with something else on top...

The armored snows had double wheels and tracks, solid tires and steel sprockets.... plus reinforced crosslinks...

I wouldn't advise trying to make one from a Muskeg or J-5... if accuracy counts.

For those who wondered about the Penguin Mark II "#8", it has been completely destroyed.

While booting around the back forest in my frankencarrier the other day I spotted some track protruding from the ground. I pulled it out with the carrier and what I have is about 14 feet of double track...most of the cross pieces rusty, some all the way through, but it is friggen heavy for a rubber/metal track. I'll get some pictures this weekend and look around for more parts...
