RTAW 1-A1(ROUGH TERRAIN ATTACK WALKER)UPDATE
Posted by MrT on Wednesday, December 8, 2010 11:38 AM

Because of a love of robot models, and the recent interest in alternative universe and 1946 subjects being offered by some companies, about a year ago I took on the project of making my own version of one of these machines.  I have a pretty extensive wip on another site, but here are pictures of the progress so far.   The model is about 95% scratch built.  There is alot of parts from the spares box and the turret is a Verlinden 76mm Sherman.  Tell me what you guys think and questions and comments are always welcome.

The legs definitely show the care and attention to detail you put into this model.  Also, the weathering is just the right amount.  Great job!

Thanks SLW!  Yes the legs, chassie,and hull is all scratch built with some spare parts added.  There is about 4 feet of brass tubing in the legs and chassie alone not to mention all kinds of plastic, wire, scrap PE etc.  The idea for the legs came from looking at a back hoe set up.

Thanks Hercmech!  Yeah I probably couldn't do it again either.  I really like the color modulation style.  It seems to give the model more depth.

Well thank you!  I thought about putting it in armor, but thought being new to the site I had better put it in SiFi.

Terry, I normally don't check SciFi but TD posted a link in Armors and told us to check it out.  I am so glad he did... LOVING your work.  Can't wait to see more of this! Yes

Neat concept and great build.  Only reservations I have from an engineering stand point is that the engine bay might be a little small and the hydraulic hoses on the legs look too vulnerable to hostile fire or snagging on debris.  Maybe some extra shurzen on the legs?

Still a wicked looking critter and would probably scare the pants off anyone facing it!

When you are done,definately post a pic in armor.It's a sci-fi kit to be sure,but it easily crosses over into armor as well.This is by far the most awesomest build I've seen in a long time.
