Ok El Alamein campaign is done, now i must give this one a chance :hmmm
I scrapped the leg i was working on before, i will go with something more like a cat (that will be the nickname for this walker, Katze)
Here a pic of the main parts (this time i do all legs simultaneus :pinch: )
You also see the cat skeleton that i use for getting it right...
Start on the knee, this will be simple joints covered with plates or a tarp for protection against dust, this is a softskin and not a heavily armoured transporter (thats for later )
Another pic of the knee.
Sunday tomorrow so i think i will get some benchtime :cheer:

Work continues, cutting and gluing and trying how to attach the hydraulic cylinders, but i think i solved it now
It will be one cylinder on each side of the leg, and then on the lower leg (not built yet) one or two more, hmmm... and then hoses to all that hydraulic...

Shoot, looks like it's ready for a pressure test.

Thanks Terry :drinks
I made a change to the hydraulics, instead of having hoses (that can easily be damaged) i made the tubes go into the frame and out to the cylinders hidden in the bolt that holds the cyl. in place :coolio
and it is also alot easier than the other system and it looks good to me B)
Here you see that one of the rods broke when i bent it a little tamiya putty will take care of that problem, the other ones i heated a little bit before bending and then it was no problem
