Or Diesel Punk  ;) Have you seen the beginnings of that AT-ST diorama with two knocked out and now rusting away AT-STs? I was thinking that would be interesting approach to the Dust walkers as well.

Doh! I couldn't remember where I'd seen it and 'Star Wars I&I' was a bigger stretch that the ol' grey cells could manage!  :icon_crap:  Thanks Jeffry.

This is so good it should have its own feature film! The jerry cans and spotlight are a nice touch! Absolutely top-shelf pro-style all the way!

That looks good. Not too much and all fairly easily 'grabable' from the hatch. Still a looong way down though  ;D

The walker would need to be less cluttered than a traditional wheeled or tracked vehicle since it would need to be lighter in weight.  At least that could be the argument made for not over-burdening the thing with tons of extra stuff.

I think Mr Fontaine has a good point. What you've got on it looks pretty realistic. Maybe this is a case of less is more?

Your stuff is museum quality, Zod and the fact that you build in the cab of your truck only makes it even more amazing!

Zod, this monster is a beatuiful thing. I hope I never get on the wrong side of it's business end. Looks heavy and cumbersome bu the robust legs suggest nimble and agile. Like an ostrich wearing body armor!!!

I may be putting this on some sort of base. Not real sure yet.Will add some dirt to her before I go back on the road Tuesday. Then the project will be on hold for awhile.
