Pete in Lincs Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 This started out as a kids toy walker from the car boot sale. 50p. That gave me the legs and lower body/engine section. The rest is the centre section of a 1/32nd P-38 Lightning. The booms of which are destined to go into a Falke scatchbuild. It's an autonomous hunter killer. Think Robocop ED209 Paint is various types of Acrylic thinned and layered in all sorts of combinations to get a really well used finish And this is how it ended up. The 1/20th figure, Helmut, and the Tamiya goo are there to give you the size. Missile pods were cobbled together from the spares boxes. A few extra bits have been added to the legs. Slightly blurred top view. The RADAR bar is a common Ma.K feature. This one was a Bristol Superfreighter Aileron It started out with the name Headless Chicken. The AT ST is known as the Chickenwalker so why not. Various suggestions were made, thanks Guys, but I settled on Dohle. German for Jackdaw. So when I found I had the the small cockerel head decals seen here I had to add them. The 102 is from an Airfix Panther.The 'eye' is an old headlight. So now a wide lens camera. Under the nose this shield is probably ex Airfix big Typhoon? Death was another odd decal I found The legs were quite detailed for a toy. Just needed some shading & detail painting to standout. On the RH side here we have a matrix of small squares. sensors of some kind. Several more are dotted around. Another camera lens at the top there too. Panzer exhausts. Rusty of course. Fuel tanks blended into the 'winglets'. Under the feet I scribed grips and added 1/72nd bits of tank tracks. See, Chicken feet! Here's a link to the WIP, if you want to see more. Many thanks for dropping by. leave comments with the Barman 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickframe Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Well, I don't precisely understand the origin of this, but it sure looks cool! The details and finishes really make it top notch! Cheers Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 3 hours ago, Stickframe said: Well, I don't precisely understand the origin of this Okay, Nick. A quick basic update. Maschinen kreiger dates from '80's Japan. 800 years in the future the planet is at war. The idea is to use bits of models and your imagination to make military type machines. There is also a WW2 German theme on markings. Search maschinen kreiger for more details, but there's a lot to see, so reserve an hour or two! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
