Walkers

[Ettrick]

I’ve always enjoyed walkers, perhaps being young when SW: Empire came out influenced that.  As a modeler and gamer, I’m forever looking for cool walker models or minis.

I’ve done conversions of the 1/144 gundam stuff and currently I'm working to build one of my own, but I also happened to come across Micropanzer Wargames Studio of the Slipstream Project.  The designer, sculptor, owner has a 15mm LIGHT ASSAULT WARBOT and a 32mm version as well.  I’m waiting for an order to arrive but in the meantime decided to drool over some more of his sculpting and concept art.  He has a running version of the LAW which looks excellent.

For now, this:  http://www.micropanzer.com/index.html

Later, I’ll share my own photos, too.

I’d like to hear what great walkers you’ve seen or got in your collections.  When I can, I’ll post pics of all the walkers I have.

Charge!

I came across that micropanzer site before. looks like really cool stuff.

I've got some 28mm Kryomek Walkers :

Raven scavenger Beta :


and a Hellcat Fury :


and I recently was given a Goliath Storm Strider by a friend who found it while cleaning up. (Still unpainted that one)
Also this one's resin whereas the others are metal.
here's a pic so you get an idea of the size :

I have gathered a lot of walkers too, but I can't really decide where to use them. VSF/ sci-fi or somewhere in between...

Really nice images!

Oh, blimey. "Walkers and robots, how do I love thee? Let me count the pics." 

To list only the 28s (and possibly not all):

My commander for my still non existant Tau Army:



and then my 1/300 (and some 1/400 for smaller walkers) forces for Future War Commander (6mm)








And of course there is 6mm MechWarrior Diamond Sharks...

A lot more response than I expected to this.  I'll need to take notes while I'm browsing because now that I've got to the bottom, I can't recall all the questions I had as I scrolled down.

This though:  Chris W., how many of your examples are scratchbuilt?  The Ghost in the Shell, the prototype model, and some WWII are not models I've seen before.

Inso, what went into the Twiddlybots?

zizi, is that scale shot with a 15mm or 28mm mini?

Tomsche, what is the thing in your 6mm Diamond Sharks with the dome?  (last pic)

[Ettrick]

Tomsche, danke.  I'll watch for one for myself.

former user, is that photo taken on the island where you live?  Stunning.  Walker is interesting, too.

Inso, what went into the Twiddlybots?

The Tiddly-bots are 15mm Spider-drones from GZG (with the guns bent up to act as antennae):

V15-84A from here:

Cheers.  I thought they were your own creation.  They look like the body could be done with Lego and the legs with careful use of plastic rod.

Wow!

Some great stuff posted!  Cheers!

Now... someone has got to link me or give a tutorial on how you create those digital backgrounds.  They look fantastic!

Please!!!!!

zizi, is that scale shot with a 15mm or 28mm mini?
