gorby
Fabulous result!

André Knippenberg
Thank you!

Dominik Weitzer
like it a lot!

Ian Doody
. SDR Piloten Christof Motti, painted him up, and slapped him in, basically just the stock pilot, with the Super Jerry blind cockpit gear, added cables, may have to sand his butt down, as you can't see much of the poor swine, when he's sealed in his walking coffin. That'll do for today.

Nathan Dempsey
Your pilot is looking great. Following 👀

Ian Doody
On to the legs of the Jerry Heavy Super Armored Fighting Suit. Now, the newer WAVE release has the shorter foot with cleaner details, but the old NITTO release has the longer but softer detailed foot, as it's a chicken walker essentially, I'm after stability, so I'm going to sacrifice detail for a solid stance.

Ian Doody
Chicken walker Ma.k, I dig it. I really like this design. Mines a super heavy Gigant Floh, armed with anti-air rockets, anti personnel machine gun, and a recoilless rifle. Bad ass.

Ian Doody
That's me done for the day, added seatbelts. And the side bubble windows, built both legs, looking good so far. I'll be building this in the classic white wash and orange camo scheme.

Dash Rendar
Great job so far, looking awesome!

Ian Doody
Added the recoilless rifle as a dry fit mock up of the chin. Looks really nice all glued up, looks really angry with the solid hood, but you can see more of the pilot though with the blown glass hood... Hmm 🤔

Ian Doody
That's where I am today, still very much a WIP. I'm working my way around it, adding extra armor, smoke launchers, it's going to be very busy, but it should look pretty awesome.

Ian Doody
I've added radiator details to the underside of the rear engine bay, and an armored cover for the large rear vent.

Ian Doody
That's it for today, getting there. Just a dry fit of parts added drooping wiring to the under engine area, I'll change the mounts of the rockets, to make them more dynamic, cockpit enclosed forever, adding small nuts and bolts, pretty happy with it so far.

Ian Doody
After adding a cast texture to the whole main body, the start of the winter white wash camo on the Gigant Floh. Rust washes next, then grey wash, then white. Still have a fair few details and wiring still to add. Sort out the rocket launchers fit, aerials, armour plates nuts and bolts.

Ben M
I have no idea what this is, but it looks cool.

shadowlight
Nice work! How did you made the cast texture?

Ian Doody
@shadowlight, I used Ammo putty, brushed on and stippled with some sponge.

shadowlight
Thank you!

Ian Doody
First all over dirt, rust and muck wash.

Ian Doody
A lot more detailing, armour plates, and washes to come.

Ian Doody
Painting has now got to the second grey wash stage, I'll be going up to off white soon, also used a muck wash and rusted up some areas of the engine deck. Rear armour is removable to see the engine deck, fan and exhaust detail. Painted up the lower engine power pipes too..

Jörg Schäfer
It's going to be another fantastic wash.

Ian Doody
Building smoke launchers, and attaching the rocket systems.

Ian Doody
Added the Fug XII Radio mast and painted it up, and finished of the front smoke candle launchers. Added bits of wire to the launchers. Drilled out the radio mast, added thin wire and a small length of spring wire for a detailed holder. Not bad.

Ian Doody
That's all for today, put first coat of paint on the rocket launchers, I've spruced mine up by adding extra sensors, and I've changed the mounting system, by drilling and pinning with brass rod, moves them out a bit more, for a more natural look. Jobs a good un.

Ian Doody
Today, was leg day. Didn't go exactly according to plan, but it all turned out good in the end, getting closer to the finish.

gorby
It looks like a dreadful kit but you seem to beating it into submission.

Neil
Haha! Thanks Gorby 🙂 👍 Yeah I think that sums it up. Building something 'right' hopefully outta this kit is my goal!

Palo M
Love the Star Trek - original series vibes from the cockpit sadly, that includes the seats too.
Woah, zip ties, that escalated quickly! Photo #8 is a previously unknown secret entrance? Kit quality really looks discouraging, well done on making it look decent! Looking forward to seeing it done!

Nathan Dempsey
I'm definitely following this build. Another tuffy Neil!
