After finally getting over a head cold, back to the 1/20 WAVE Strahl Demokratische Republik Gigant Floh. 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.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.  

As can be seen here, the new foot on the left, the old on the right, I think the old will give a better stance.  

New left, old right. I'll use the new armored foot part elsewhere, always need new bits.
The Super Jerry kit uses the old foot armour as rear engine armour, not sure if I'm using the new ones for this, as there is a lot of detail back there if rather see.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Masking tape seatbelts, with some bent wire for adjusters. Just to add a bit of interest, you won't see a lot through the windows sadly.  

Looking good I think. 

 

 

 

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. 

Looks very cool over the shoulder, sadly hardly any of this will be seen later.  

 

Added the console, also added to this some nobs and flick switches.  

Looks so good like an angry egg. 

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. 

Cockpit done, ready to be glued in and sealed up. 

Yep, I really like the look of this kit.  

 

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 ? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Front recoilless rifle and heavy machine gun mock up. Pretty cool. 

 

 

 

 

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. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

Super Heavy Gigant Floh dry fitting armour plates and finishing off weapons fit. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
