Thanks gents and thanks for identifying it  :)

Interesting sculpt. It De s heavy and clumsy but also agile.

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure when putting it together as I think the 'body' needs to be forward a bit so the centre of gravity is more central but it's growing on me  :)

Nice to see the micropanzer beasty painted up. Works very nicely for 28mm! And a steal to at that price I think. There should be one on its way to me as we speak.

Would it's bigger brother not make a really cool oversized/overgunned police robot? Kind of a tank/police horse? Imagine that charging down football supporters! :o

Funny, I was considering doing that one up in "swat" style myself.

I might be working on some variants of the AH-AW soon, any requests?  :D

I have a couple of those that I bought from Micropanzer a few years ago before they stopped selling them. Good to see them back up for sale. I think I have the ones that are slightly bigger than a 28mm person. They look great.

Nope, Jason is still doing business, though a bit lower key these days I believe. If there are different sizes of the walkers I don't know if he still does both, but it's well worth asking. His website could use a overhaul but http://www.micropanzer.com/ is still active. the big walker is actually on sale right now.

Taking a closer look I only now realise that line has 2 sizes of chicken walkers. The one Jim has painted above would be the "Amakudari Strider"
