Guest Not In Sample Posted March 16, 2011 as an american walker , ye , but as a german walker i think it looks fine . haqd i done it , i might have done a few things dif. on it , but hey its his walker , and totaly fits the bill . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maquinista2 0 Posted March 17, 2011 I accept suggestions and might follow them, I like how it turned out although it needs a bit more ww2 look (I could put a construction journal on the blog if it would be of interest) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Not In Sample Posted March 17, 2011 the things i would have done different would be a bit more work on cleaning up the head , and i would have cut the legs dif. so that it kept the knee joints . i have one of those ( for my star wars army i will never get to play because noone here plays star wars minis battles from the old 1980's game ) and i have often though that if i had an extra , i would like to replace the transport compartment , with a naval cannon , and maybey some anti aircraft turrets and sand bags around them .

Maquinista2 0 Posted March 17, 2011 You did notice that the head is not the original one but the front of a Sdkfz.221 1/35 armoured car. It was just so easy to cut off the legs above the joints... I have another one of these kits that I want to make something different. First I thought of putting a lot of artillery too, but some how it doesn´t looks right... I also play a little star wars miniatures-and I have the big scale AT AT-some of the miniatures are quite compatible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also play a little star wars miniatures-and I have the big scale AT AT-some of the miniatures are quite compatible. which kit is it ? i thought it was the one put out by wizards OTC . i understood why you did the legs that way , i thonk most people would do the same , i wouldnt describe my self as a "hobby" gamer as i dont really just love to bits the process of converting a mini , but i want specific looks and items , so i have become proficient in making minis the way i want them , its not about the process for me , its about the end result , so for me i have learned the skills , and gotten the tools to go the extra mile as it were . and ya i noticed the head , my problem isnt with the head as such , but rather how it is attached , the top and and neck looks wrong to me , it just looks kinda klinky or unfinished to me . it still looks good to me , but these are just things that i would have done dif. if i had it on my table .

Maquinista2 0 Posted March 26, 2011 And now something completely different . Not yet finished Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Not In Sample Posted March 26, 2011 SWEEEEEEET! nice smaller version , but how will you handle movement , any special move rules since its not a "walker" acording to the big guys produst description ? which brings to mind , might i suggest retractable wheels in the skids ? i dont understand why the big one isnt a walker since it has legs , so wheels would make it make sense for non snow terrain . they wouldnt have to actually function , but having them present would be a nice detail . oh , and MORE PICS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maquinista2 0 Posted March 27, 2011 I think it slides with the back propeller in snow or ice. When in rough terrain it just walks like any other walker, except for wearing big shoes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Not In Sample Posted March 27, 2011 thats what i dont understand about the original one , is it says in its description that its NOT a walker , despite having what appear to be legs where did you get the parts for the feet ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Not In Sample Posted March 27, 2011 something that different and cool might warrant something to make it stand out , we have made limited special abilities for some units to give the added flavor of their type . what about an ability for arctic vehicles "Arctic Agility" : this unit has the agile skill whenever operating on arctic terrain .
