KV-X2 'Walker' by MIG

[postal]

very cool indeed

[SBMiniaturesGuy]

Actually, this might work well with a 1/48 scale KV-2 turret since the body and engine of the walker just looks too small to support a KV-2 turret.

My first reaction was WOW!

My second reaction is....hhmmmm, how does it move?

I like the idea of walkers for WWW2, in general, and I understand the premise of "Weird" WW", but from a practical point of view, putting all that weight on 4 small points, would surely see it sink rapidly into the ground, and get stuck?

Particularly given its a russian model, with the infamous ground conditions of in Russia/Eastern Europe when the ground thaws, I would have thought some larger feet (to spread the weight) would have made sense.

Nitpicking, I know, but apart from that, looks great!

Marxism works in strange and mysterious ways, comrade...

Very, very cool. Almost enough to make me start WWW2.

I believe it can fold down the little 'knuckle' pads on the ends of the legs for muddy ground traction... At least I am a gullible proletariat and have faith that this is so.

So if the tank doesn't walk, the designer goes to the gulag?

Or gets conscripted (doubt it), beats being in one of them any day. Or not if that be a WWWII battlefield one charges towards.
