Wow! Impressive machine you built there!

Typical how the Axis machines seem to be more popular than the Allied stuff...


(Yeah, I built one too... Couple of years old, the paint job isn't of a standard I'd be satisfied with these days.)

Bye, Modhail.

Thanks Modhail!
Love your walker. I especially like the "alternative" drive system for road use, that's been really well thought out. Excellent work.

Yeh, funny about the axis stuff, although I have got a lot of Soviet kit aswell.

Just a quick pic of the Walker base coated ( minus detailing) and with a new spotlight attachment.

Thank you Pappa Midnight!
All I really did was shorten the tracks and make a bracket for the wheels that were left after building this, and tack them onto the legs....

Now that everything is one colour, the shapes on your walker are a bit easier to judge. And they're quite impressive!  :love:

Bye, Modhail

Thanks for the comments!

I always take on board what people think, and in the case of the spotlight I think it looks better aswell! The original chin mounted guns were attached with magnets so I can have different load-outs to suit different missions.

Thanks for the feedback

I'm taking pics as I go as it makes it easier for reference when I build another one. My models aren't "planned" as such, so I tend to add bits as I go ( which can be difficult to repeat sometimes!)
Here's a pic with a base coat and some inking. I will build up layers on top working up to German dark yellow.

Just finished painting the Walker "cleanly".
All I have to do now is weather it and add details.

Lovely! And, again, good choice of going for simple sandgrey camouflage. :)

The frame antenna is a particularly nice touch.

Wow! That's just lovely.
Be sure to post pictures from various angles when it's finished!
(mental note: empty out droolbucket next to PC for when Pappa Midnight finished this beast....)

Bye, Modhail
