Having just finished the Sternail earlier today, I was eager to start something else.
At the Southwell show last year, I met a man who sold me some kreiger armoured fighting suit stuff. A part started Gustav and bits for a Heinrich.
I opened the box, checked all the parts (arms and legs part assembled) and thought, Hmmm, put it together, paint it, done. Too easy. Or......
I raided the spares again. Found the remains of an Airfix Gazelle I built decades ago. The suits, as seen above, are based on the Hughes 500 fuselage. So, what if I use a Gazelle?
The Hughes models were 1/48th. this is 1/72nd. So I might get away with a 1/35th figure inside. Or, go for 1/20th and make it an automaton.
Arms and legs etc? I have these cheap Japanese robot kits in weird small scales, I may as well adapt & use these parts.
And a search through the rapidly depleting spares boxes gave me this little lot. I'll have to see what I can do with them.
Let the fun begin! Stay tuned and thanks for looking in, Pete
