Wow. Been a few days and I've been busy. Anyway, it's time for some awesome updates.
In this shot, the legs have been painted and treads deployed.
Same legs as above with treads retracted.
In this shot, work on the ankle and ankle armor hinge begins.
In this one, it shows the new knee. A simple clear plastic tube and two brass tubes cut. More to see as I get it finished.
The ankle hinge is almost complete. All that is left is to paint the pieces.
Mission accomplished. Both legs at this point are done for the day. The hinges are permanently attached thanks to a hole punch and styrene sheeting.
After a LOT of work, the thighs are completed. To a point.
A closer shot of the uncompleted thighs and skirt armor.
And now everything is painted and I need a new bottle of desert yellow. This lone project nailed it.
And now that the whole thing is in a way reassembled.
At this moment of time, I have to build onto a hinge that I have a set of armor that covers the front side of the knee and a stowage rack on both sides. That and cut out some screen for the exhaust in the rear. On top of that, the knees are waiting for parts to arrive so they can be completed and painted. Other than that, I am almost done with this build.
