Land Rover or Water Rover?

This just represents such a fascinating journey, based upon some great engineering, that I had to make sure everyone sees it.

A neat adventure! I have been out near Little Diomede Island, and my assistant engineer and one or two buddies took the skiff to circumnavigate Big Diomede. They didn't get arrested by any Russian minions, but we did wonder about that.

Very neat! I would love to see some of the details about that construction. The fact that the entire "system" is removable is quite a feat!

there was a tiny bit of detail in the 'development' section.

I agree, the fact that they can rotate the pontoons to raise and lower the vehicle in the water is excellent engineering.

I agree. I was introduced to those on the 'mud' thread. who wouldn't want one.

I do like multi-media vehicles aill terrain vehicles. (like water trains or duckboats)
