In the words of Rolf,
"Can you tell what it is yet?"

[BlackOps]

Sure, it's one of those really cool thingamajiggys! Looking forward to seeing where you take this one Gary!

[Ed S]

I don't know, HOG.  Is it going to be another F-16?

Hoyhoy`al,

Sorry, did that on a bit of a run, should`ve added "answers on the back of a self addressed stamp."

Blops  `a thingamajiggy`  close but no biscuit.
Ed S    Moi an F16! go washya mouth

Perhaps this will help



Or another clue was in the last Hogs 2 post.
Cheers

UMMMM.....something with legs

Ssssshhhhh You`ll spoil the suprise 

[Sisko]

Well it's starting to look very MAKish (SF3D) which imediately gets my interest.

[Just call me Ray]

You're building one of those round mecha thingies from one of those tabletop game thingies.

EDIT:











keep scrolling









...and you know EXACTLY what I mean. I know you do, don't try to hide in vagaries!

Chicken Walker.

Help those poor chickens with their escape.

Yep you`ve guessed it. A two legged mecha thingy, chicken walking, SF3Dish dodad.
When I was writing the gibberish at the tailend of Hog 2, the words "exoskeleton fighting frame" appeared on the screen, where from I`ve no idea, but the idea stuck in my head for a few days. Then while searching for something else I found this.



And it clicked. A fighting machine with digital camo`. Another old inhaler body (becoming my signature item maybe?), a rumage in the tube stock for bitz and I`m off.  I`m thinking Vietnam US marine colours, complete with graffiti (love the idea of chalking `make love not war, ancient proverb` on the side of an SciFi AFV), probably a little jungle dio and a figure or two,

Well I`ll keep you posted and more pics soon

Cheers

Ha! I was right! And all it took was to be incredibly vague and piggyback off of previous responses

Heres were I`s at.



Legs on but wobbily. On the left is the shoulder pad/pod armour awaiting a final sand and polish for push moulding, and on the right 1st impressions of the feet. Reminds me of the Goons. Police sargent and detective outside house window (Sellars and Milligan I think it was)
Sergant....."Look sir an impression of a foot"
Detective.."Sergant, we`re on a murder case and have no time for your impressions now"

Oh well onwards and outwards, more as it happens

Hmm, 48th or 72nd scale figure?

When I first saw this I thought you were going to use the inhaler flat, like a saucer look, with the legs either mounded on the side or attached underneath somehow.  But I think I like this better.  Now, what weapons are you going to use?

[Mossie]

Oooooh.  Like it.  Have you designed the canopy so it hinges Gary?

Hey that looks like the love child of an Imperial scout Walker and an ED209 from Robocop!!!
