I just got the Dust Tactics basic game, lots of great stuff inside — but what I REALLY like are the Panzermechs!! I dunno why they call then “Robots” in the game since even by the time of WW2 that had come to mean an automaton, a self-directed machine rather than a human piloted machine. Oh well, suffice it to say that I love Panzermechs. First order of business will be to modify the mech’s with some new paint jobs and details. I will be adding TCs and gear to them, for example. I have also revived a fallow project to do a GearKrieg style mech. Using the Shapeways 3-D printing service I have had mech legs created for a mech body based off of a 1/56th scale Stuart tank. At $35 for a set of 3-D printed legs its steep, so I will do some resin casting experiments to make some more of them.

The goal is to have a PanzerMech Zug on the German side and a ‘Mech platoon on the US side. More postings as this project progresses.

It's been quite a while since I last saw the 28mm Early conversion posted on this forum.

I posted a conversion last year or so, but I couldn't get the legs right until I went to 3D art and printing. Btw, this is a personal project right now. It would be really interesting to do a line of 28mm GearKrieg mechs, but it would cost way more than I have pennies to do right now -- from 3D model to prototype, to professional resin mold and production (including finicky metal bits), electronic storefront costs and that percentage to DP9.
