It might not be great legs, but but I have scratchbuilt some:

Take this walker, whose legs were based off of the Dust walkers back when there were only the 1/35 models. Mainly foamcore, balsa, and some tubing.

Some smaller 28mm walkers (based on GW sentinels) had legs made out of balsa match sticks, covered with cardboard:
