Here's a first build up of a Walker I'm working on for VSF.
It's a modded Starship Troopers kit with some bits from an HO scale Stephenson's Rocket!

good grief - I'm thinking of at least 5 different colour scheme which would all make it look spectacular - heck, it looks spectacular unpainted!  8) 8) 8)

Have you signed some sort of pact with the Devil, or were you dropped on your head as a child?  lol

INDEED!!! A lot more rivets! The legs look a bit too manga/modern, so rivets would definitely improve.

But of course I like it very much, even without rivets!  :-* lol

All I can say is that this is a work of pure genius. I can't wait to see the completed model.

Thanks for the comments!

I've taken on board feedback given and have a pin-drill and some fine plastic rod to add some rivets!!!

I'll post some pics when I've completed the build.
