I love the Dune series of books and I wanted to try my hand at designing a Spice Harvester/ Factory Crawler as described in the first book besore the new film comes out to influence my design decissions too much. I've tried to keep to some aspects from the book, like them being described as"buglike" and like "a great tan and blue beetle" and i wanted to lean in on. I tried to combine the beetle like description with a utilitarian near future Mars rover look. This accounts for the main deviations from the origional design description, the first being changing the colour ro mostly white. I thought this was appropriate partly because of the desert setting (A light colour would make sense to reflect heat) and partly to fit with the nasa rover inspiration. The second deviation (wheels instead of tracks) also came through a mix of the mars rover inspiration (and look at real world dune buggys) and the reliability of wheels over tracks (the latter have more moving parts to go wrong and the in-universe usage of the vehicles being an opportunistic rapid deployment and recovery).
