German and Hungarian Mechs

[ancientsociety]

These two mechs started life as DUST walkers I bought on clearance for use with Konflikt '47 and other Weird War 2 games. They were initially two different walkers - the Ludwig and Lothar - but, by swapping one arm on each, I was able to make them similar models. The base models, while having an excellent aesthetic, are very rough and needed a LOT of clean-up of flash, mold lines, and misaligned parts. There is some poseability in the joints and I was able to get the Hungarian model to look like it was "stalking" something among urban ruins, while the German model has more of a resting, ready to spring into action feel. Both models have the originally MG-mounted IR sight removed and placed unto the AT gun arm. I also swapped out the barrel of the Hungarian MG to make it look more like a Schwarloze and made a new perforated muzzle brake for the AT gun, similar to the one mounted on the Zrinyi assault gun.
