Far too long since I posted here, so time for a mind cleansing quick Whiffer
Dug out an Old (now totally redundant with the latest releases) Dragon BTR-70, which incidentely had no wheels.
so starting here, let the hacking begin.


So after much hand wringing and gnashing of teeth about whether it should be wheeled. Or tracked. Or Wheeled. Or tracked.. Or......
End up back with wheels. Looks too much like a BTR not to have wheels. So found an even older DML BTR in the built archives and "borrowed" the wheels.
So hackity, buildity, stickity and we ended up here



Other side.

Still a bit to go clearly but at least the whiffer Mojo is back!

Fit it out with a decent, high flow hydraulic pump and it would a hell of a good table-tennis robot.  ;D

The foot looks great, and a very creative use of a HO scale brick wall?  :thumbsup:

Thanks guys.
Quick and dirty this one. Not too much stress of minor issues and flaws in finish. Just slam it out




So calling that done.

Good work.  As it's flat pack radar should it have an Ikea logo on it and a big allen key clamped on the side?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Or the clamps for the key and no key it'self  :banghead:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Plus 5-6 odd sized nuts and bolts (none of which match each other...) with zero indication of where they're meant to go!

Great job ! No worries about the quick and dirty build, the finished model looks rather quick and dirty ! Thanks for the build pics.

Came out great a bit of inspiration for a Gaskin kit I have hiding in the pile  :thumbsup:

I am liking this, brilliant piece of kit. I think I will have to "borrow" this idea for my Cartel builds  :thumbsup:
