My Royalist Tractor Corps has (thanks to Dan) managed to get quite well equipped with two tractors and two armoured contraptions (armoured cars to us humans), but I was stuck on something for the Crusaders. The 'official' Baeliog tractor (see the video above) looks like the results of a KV-2 and an Excavator being in a dark room with a bottle of wine. Zombiesmith has said 28mm versions will be for sale, someday, but I'm impatient and want tractors now. The Toonkrieg models are goofy and fun, which fit Quar well. I looked long and hard at the Somua S35 and Char B as possible contenders. Then I discovered the Toonkrieg Centurion.
I don't hide my love for the Centurion tank. And the Quar will give me another chance to have them on the table. Honestly, I think acquiring all these Centurion tanks is my version of a mid-life crisis. Cheaper than a sports car or affair with a redhead half my age at any rate.
So I sent the stl to Don, who printed out 3 for me.
I cut the bobble head off the Toonkrieg TC and used greenstuff to attach a spare Quar head. I'm holding off converting the other two TCs until my Black Friday order from Zombiesmith arrives, which has extra bits and heads for conversions.

I was worried that they'd come out too big, but I think they look OK. Now I just need some nice weather to undercoat them and start painting.

Now, I just need my bits from Zombiesmith for heads and stowage, and a mild spell to undercoat these.
