Weird Steam Crab

[xeno2x]

Great for any Weird War!

The Steam Crab can easily break through enemy lines and disembark dozens of fully armed troops. The vehicle can wade streams  up to 24 feet deep and when necessary it can swim, floating on its boat-like hull, powered by jets of high pressure water, at speeds up to 6 knots.

This Reviresco paper kit of the Steam Crab measures 9.5 inches long by 8 inches wide (with the legs extended)  the hull (exclusive of legs) is 3 inches wide.   The vehicle stands roughly 5 inches high, depending on how the legs are adjusted.

Yep, that's pretty weird, all right.

 I first read "disembark" as "disembowel" which certainly sounded gruesome...

Hate to be that guy, but the look of the surface detail really doesn't do it for me. The whole 12 layers of slap patch metal look doesn't do it favours. Also I feel there are many places a drawn on rivet or gear or turning mechanism would not go amiss. Also for the model your showing have some decency and blacken those bare naked edges. 

I am well aware that making the templates for paper craft stuff like this takes a lot of geometry work and this one is pretty complex, but it could very much do with some more 2d art work.

It does look like a stock "metal plate junk" texture applied over the model.  Not really the kind of construction an established military is accustomed to

Interesting model, something a bit different from the norm, like it.

Thanks for the image.
