That walker looks great! I had seen the helicopter one before 8)

A guy on a Dutch forum made a conversion as well for his Escher gangers:







He left off the guns, extended the body, cut the wings from the turbines and added them to the top and did the tail upside-down. I think it looks great 8)

You van view the thread here, it's in Dutch:

I llike that Escher conversion and the walker looks like a Mechwarrior Raven/Locust which is pretty cool. Not keen on the Helicopter though. It still has the stupid gun pods and it has the vtol thrusters mounted on it still. What's the point of rotors and thrusters?
So many projects..... so little time.......

I finally gave in and have bought a stormtalon. I won't build it strictly canonical, but more like that escher conversion above, as I want to use it to represent a grav-copter scout vehicle thingy. You must admit these plastic kits lend themselves very well for conversions.

I was thinking Mechwarrior as well though i wasn't thinking Raven/Locust i was thinking of the Targe. Minus the chin mounted guns.

Never saw Blue Thunder or Airwolf i take it?  :-)

Now we wasn't talking good or bad. You wanted to know the purpose of thrusters and rotors. :-)
