  1. HERE WE GO! The Side Pods were a little too long so I cut some off the front with a Cut-Off Wheel. Changed my mind. I decided that to paint the Walker with Tamiya Silver Leaf instead of Tan. Here is how the top of the Leg fits up against the Side Pod. Here is the other side with the top of the Leg set in place. More Coming...
  2. LEG WORK! I cut a piece of plastic tubing in half and fit each half to the fronts of the Legs. This will mount flush with the Body when done. For some unknown reason the Right Leg is not complete. I cut a length of tubing and glued it in place to match the Left Leg. I cut and fit a square piece of plastic to fit the gap, then glued it in with Zap-A-Gap-Green Label. Next I cut strips of plastic to close off the hollow Legs and make them solid. More Coming...
  3. THE LEGS! The Plan is to mount the Legs on the Body sides, where I removed the Posts. First I cut off the round section from each side of the Leg. Then I marked and cut out a slot shaped area so the Legs will fit on the side of the Body. Here are the Legs with both Slot Shaped areas removed. I trimmed the backs of the Legs some more until they fit flush against the Body. More Coming...
  4. USA Walker! Our local Santa Rosa IPMS Club & Fundemodium Hobby Shop are putting on the Big HOBBY EXPO 2014 on February 15th 2014. This show is for all kinds of Modeling including Plastic Models, Radio Control & Trains. There will also be a Special Contest at the EXPO for Ma.K Robots & Space Vehicles and Kow Yokoyama, the Ma.K designer, may come from Japan for the EXPO! I decided to make a Ma.K style Manned Research Vehicle for the EXPO! I will be using parts from the AMT AT-ST and the Revell Jedi Starfighter. I decided to add legs to the Jedi Starfighter Body. The Wing Mounting Posts need to be removed to make room for the legs. Using a cut-off wheel I removed the posts. Then I used a sharp #11 X-Acto blade to trim the cut areas smooth. More Coming...
