Who are you? And what have you done to our Claymore?  :-\


In other news:

It's nice to see you enjoying a simple OoB build!  :smiley:

Always fun ... Until the dreaded AWMS* kicks in.  :o

 ;D ;D ;D I have him locked in the basement!  ;D ;D ;D

I know what you mean - the temptation to add mechanical legs to my Saracen build is almost unbearable!  ;)

There are limits to what is allowed on Classic Military Vehicles  :o

Really keen to see this build happen out of the box, almost real time as well. I am so keen to get my hands on this kit, so this is just a huge tease.

If you put mechanical legs on a Saracen, does that make it a Scarab?  ???

Beautiful OTB Saracen! Airfix should hire you - or give you a few free kits - in exchange for the free advertising; I wasn't planning on getting one, but now I am as soon as it makes it over to the US.

I’m sure that folks will be able to do great things with all the beautiful internal detail too.  For this build, it’s enough for me just to know it’s in there!  :smiley:
