I found this and thought it may be of interest,

http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2010/09/30/wondrous-tank-maker/#more-18612

it seems this guy is a serial tank builder.

I would happily own any one of them, given a chance.

 

Below is a photo of one of his armoured wheeled vehicles as a taster.

I know little of WP vehicles (even though I used to have a Gaz) I do not know if it is represents a production vehicle.

The six wheeler represents a BA10 armoured cars the penultimate of a long series of these vehicles (BA1 Ist built in 1932) which were also in service in Spain during the civil war- Spanish copies were used by the Germans as trojan horses during the inital stage of Barbarosa.

 

Allowing that the vehicles have to be built in a restricted chassis hull track width etc many are very good although some just don't get there especially the Pz38t and the AEC Armoured car turret is way off- odd choice for Russia that one- although Kubinka has one supplied as a sample during WW2.
