Bravo. A first post with pictures is to be applauded.

Any chance of some other angles of that wonderful creation?

Mighty fine work that... Great VSF inspiration.

I have 3 of those SW thingies myself waiting to be modified, but my idea was not anywhere as cool as yours.

Thanks
Tom

Welcome on LAF

Nice work. I, also, would like to see your "walker" from a different angle... 8)

Very Very nice. When I first saw it , it reminded me of a volkswagon with legs  :D  Lovely paint job too.

Keep em coming!

Cheers

I second the idea of a volkswagon with legs.  Very nice. Can we see the front of it?

Thanks for all the feedback and the fantastic welcome.

The figure is a Star Wars Miniatures Viper Droid. I've removed a few bits, added a couple more, cut out a hatch and added some old GW weapons from a epic scale titan. I've still to paint the legs, add a hatch cover and maybe add a couple of "steam" bits here and there. Not sure if I like the front/nose area.

Here's an older "work-in-progress" shot to show the front. Not a great image...
