I got the UCS Sandcrawler for Christmas, and although a moderately nice to look at set, it has simply compromised alot of accuracy for playability. The studded sides are just a deal breaker for me. The proportions are reasonable, but I decided I needed to at least attempt to correct the vehicle, while still maintaining the structural dimension of the original kit.
I can't find pictures of anyone else who has attempted this mod. I am trying to use the real studio model prop as reference not the awesome Randy Cooper interpretation resin kit.
I will post a very detailed article soon but I thought I might drop some Work In Progress shots - nothing finished - ALOT of changes to come...
Hope you see my vision from these.

I cannot find blueprints So I drew my own using as many reference pics as I could.
The Randy cooper resin model, My WIP attempt, The real studio model, and the Lego UCS Interpretation.
