So how do you camoflauge something like this? stick houses to it? Looking forward to seeing this one progress :)

And of course, it needs catwalks, ladders, AAA gun turrets, maybe some SAM's, and lots of stowed equipment bags,...

Have fun.

the "Posleen War" SF books by John Ringo also had Humungo-tanks (one was named "bun-bun")

Those used something like colored PU foam to disguise themselves as hills - they would spray out the foam onto themsleves and wait a little as it dried  ...

I love that series of books :)  I like most of Ringo's work. I'd forgotten about the camo foam  :banghead:

OGRES have no humans on board, so the necessity for stuff about and below is minimized. Yes, of course, they have to be serviced now and again. Just like any sailor...errr...ship.

How about CthulhuOGRE?

I got one of those at last year's Origins for 5 bucks.  Quite the steal.  :)

Should have the whole thing sheeted today, even with Shanlyn coming home early ("Legend" is on, and she loves that film...more time for me to build)

The finished kit will indeed be rc compatible...so I guess I could drive it. :)

Sheeting is finished and dry, so today I foam!
