It's about 75% complete, but on the back burner right now, due to other projects and releases having more prominence. 

Company B predominately concentrates on vehicles, figures and crews for:
Pacific War (Japanese, US Marines, Australians)
Chinese/Japanese War (and Back an Beyond leading up to it)
Russian Civil War (with some overlap into WW1 and above)

Our new area of interest is Pulp/interwar and WW2.  Mostly real kit that can be used in pulp games (the G3A truck for example) as well as the designs for the Brigade Games robots.  The Scout walker sort of fits in here, and we'll get back to it when we start expanding this lineup.

With the release of the DUST models, and others, this project is more of a "for fun" release.  Which means we need to build up some coinage in the coffers to get it done. Usually, once a model has about 40 units in anticipated sales, it becomes "break even" to cast, so it moves fwd.  This little GEM has about 5 units of sales claimed so far.  So I still want to release it, but it may be a limited release.

Depending on the price, I'm hella interested.

I like the look of the  Dust walkers....  I'm not as attracted to their view of walker legs, as I am to your view of walker legs.

If your walkers were similarly priced to the Dust walkers (25USD-35USD plus shipping), I think I'd prefer your walkers in my walker recon force - especially if I could convert the turret from a M3/M5 style turret, to a M8 howitzer style turret on one.  I'm just thinking outloud here, but I could see a walker squadron of 2 "Attack Walkers" advancing while an "Artillery Walker" covered their advance, and relayed radio signals back to a heavier unit further back.
