Bushwacker


My first model which began my modeling work. I got inspiration from a book about robots Torston Battletech.
Built a model that somehow easily. Perhaps the explanation for all this, what I did the first time, pasted all of that, but would have looked beautiful ... But, in the process, the desire to make a model of the mobile, not in the sense of moving on their own, and do all the joints and movable mechanisms. That, in general, failed ... Me most of my models like this walker, I do not know why. Probably because the first ...

 Was based on two units of armored vehicles - M3 Scout and KV from the star. As my child "worked" over Scout very fruitful, it was decided to cut off the entire compartment behind the driver's seat and began to face the robot scout cabin, which I glued to the top of the tower KV , removing the mask gun. The back was closed engine compartment KV . The entire case KV was sawn into three parts, the front and turret ring parts were glued together back part, which formed part coccygeal robot. In the cab scout for the pilot's seat was installed engine from the Tiger, which replaced the nuclear reactor.
With the muzzle face Scout were cut left and right wing and put on board the Scouts, where previously been glued rollers from KV , which later became the beginning of hands walker. The gap formed between the tower and KV Scout cabin, I stuck to the side plates diagonal detail of KV with niches for setting rollers. The rest went to the plate to close gaps at fixing nog.Nogi made mainly of a frame shaped gate G, which is amplified and vestments in the "meat" were sawn in the joints and, in place of cuts was glued joint wheel-shaped limiter extension legs (made hinges rollers KV ). "Meat" legs made of plenum turbines Su-27, the remaining lateral scout sheets, carriages PAK-40 spares boxes from KV , pendants with spring rolls and leading KV . Feet made of overturned carriages of 120mm mortar Stars, sawn nozzles of the Su-27, the front armor plates from guns PAK-40, KV rollers, gear doors from the Su. The hands were made of runners, glued-in rollers  KV .

Above I wrote that the housing Scout were glued Rollers, and to the gates, on the one hand, the pair were glued themselves trunks PAK-40 guns and missiles of the Ka-50. On other hand, the German gun of the T-4 (sort of) and rockets from aircraft Rafale C. Over his right shoulder installed ATGM from tanks from KV , and over the left shoulder - Pylon rockets from plastic. Scale 1:35, 22 cm height, colored acrylic remover - oil and acrylic, gryazing - pastel
