does this look somewhat familiar?

stop that deja-vu stuff that your causing. I hit this site myself only last week, must say some weird, wonderful and strange stuff there.

hey guys, great reply!
i have a freind who knows Paolo and got a copy of Dust right off the press. I was impressed with it, and that is kind of the look I want to go for. So, combining the Dust idea with the MaK inspired figures two posts above, I will persue that! 1/20 scale is perfect to work in :-)

I hope some of these girls are still at SSM. 

thanks!!

There is a modeler by the name of Luca who did something very similar to this, albiet on a much larger scale. I forget the name, it escapes me now, his model was simply amazing. Schnabelgun perhaps? Check this out........... http://strangevehicles.greyfalcon.us/Panzerkampfgeher.htm

Yeah, it looks a lot like a design out of Paolo Parente's "Dust" universe.  Those kits are mostly in 1:35 scale and feature alternative WWII mecha, both german and russian. 

What scale is it in, they make a very, very nice female figure kit for the Ma.k line of figures.

They sellem at Starship modeler, and other places http://www.starshipmodeler.biz/

and


They are all in 1/20th scale though.

in a way, but not of this particular machine.
I ran across a piece of art last night  that inspired me, so I haveset out to draw up sketches.

What I WILL need is an appropriate girl since the girl in the art was central. Once I have that, I can design and biuld/bash the machine around her .

In the early days of the PlayStation 2, there was a game called Ring of Red that featured vehicles just like that. Big walkers composed of the parts of various WWII tanks. It was actually kind of fun, in an early PS2 kind of way.

I've seen some other designs like this, including some models and gaming pieces.

Thinking about trying to build one?
