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

:lol: Exactly!  :lol:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Heres where I`s at now,
Shoulder pads on, inner hubcaps to inner knees, mudflaps to back of knees (1st kitparts), Extra strengthening bitz to upper legs, a chin gun of sorts (lego part), and small thruster jump jets to lower body (2nd Kit parts)









Under the chin gun, the box will be a infra red light ( or silver, Tamiya clear red and Future in laymans terms)
Heres the push moulds for the feet, work needed to get temprature right.



And this is just for you Mossie



I wasn`t going to show this open until it was finished, but obviously I can`t hide much from you lot of eagle eyed buggers ;D

All comments and suggestions read, sometimes with amusement and sometimes even taken heed of.

Beauty!  Thanks for the cockpit shot Gary!  Thought it just seemed natural with the brace that you put around it & I thought, maybe he's trying to hide a cut there....
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Hoyhoy`al,

been working on the cockpit,










Last pic shows what you see when its done. Suddenly found out that I can`t paint round corners, hence the vid` screen's need a lot of tidying up. Didn`t want to do a lot of wiring and CBA`d to make a consol for the front, so I cheated and put the back of the dash behind a closed water/weather proof cover like on a Me109. this also needs working as it is too hard looking and looks like a scale model of a railway layout before flocking. But o`all reasonably amused but the results so far.



This picture I know is very blurry but I hope it conveys my idea of steering being on a rod which folds out of the way when getting in and out of the pit.

Oh well all comments and suggestions etc
Cheers :drink:
