Hello!
Thought i make a thread with this build, some of you have seen it in the presentation of my builds.
It's a "what if" german walking tank sometime late 40's
Here come's some build pics on the progress so far, enjoy

The powerful Maybach engine

Automatic 88mm gun for both ground and air

Start on the main hull

Primed and started with the legs

Hydraulic cylinder

Hydraulic pistons for the foot

Painted with the 1948 ambush pattern B)

Secret blueprint of the footconstruction! B)

Leg as it looks today with one of the crew to show the size

Soon i must start making the second one Mp i have the same problem as you when it comes to make two parts that will look the same help!!!

Cool stuff! I really love sci-fi type imaginative builds like this.

Well, I don't want to be that 'rivet counter' but Maschinen Krieger is set 880 years in the future. Events primarily take place between 2882 and 2886 after a nuclear war, so to say it's late 40's I assume you mean 2947?

:pp :drinks :gogo

I'll tell you one thing,

There is nothing wrong with your imagination! Your build is really clean and it looks plausible.

Nice paint job as well!

Work goes on with the feets, toe-hinge added with supporting angles.
sanded down the edges with waterproof sanding paper to show how the metal have been worn down B)
Used to work with big digging machines, and alot of welding repairs on the buckets was a great reference on how even the hardest steel (swedish Hardox!)wears down after digging in the dirt

Now i'm busy working on the weld beads, here it's 3 1mm rods glued and pressed together to show a big weld made up of multiple layers

The grooves on the angleiron on the toe is for cutting tripwires, wich was a problem for these machines
