Helsreach walker progress.

I'm getting close to finishing off the walker. I've got to get a riggle on too, as this things gotta be ready to game with in under a month!

Here's the progress so far;

I've done the motor, control panel, ladder and headlight brackets.


Here's a close up of the ladder. It's a folding type that will be hoisted/lowered by chain.


Here you can see the headlight brackets with bolt heads (cut-off plastic sprue).


The innards of the beast. I put down some plastic mesh for the flooring & wire for
cable's. I decided to go a bit silly with the "control panel", deciding that a steering
wheel with pedals would make an amusing way of moving it about. I can picture
the driver mashing the accelerator to the floor, forcing the walker to running
across the desert landscape :D


All that's left is to do is add some hand railing, a heavy machine gun to the side turret & tiddy up a few things and she'll be ready for paint.

Groovy.

  1. I started building one of these ages ago but didn't get as far as you have. Great stuff so far. Are you in the UK?

    1. Nah, I'm a convict :p

      It would be great to be able to game with you though, it's a shame we oldhammerers are so spread out.

      Cheers
