SDKFZ does a Reaver, SLOW !

[SDKFZ]

Mayday, Mayday !!

I just got this crazy idea, why not try and build a Reaver, now that the Warhound is almost done..................................

I will, as usual, do it my own way, lots of changes to existing Templates.

It will be a mix of all the normal Paterns, but mostly Lucius. (More right angles.)

YES, IM LAZY !! I know !!

It will take its time, as im having a hard time at work.

Started on the Feet today, made most of the parts and started to assemble them. Got one Base done.


C&C always welcome.

Hope you dont get to bored.

WOHHHHH! SLOW DOWN!!! YOU MAY FINISH THIS THING TOO QUICKLY WITH HAVING A FOOT DONE!!

J/K

I cannot wait to see some more progress on it

[Mangozac]

Excellent!

Is that Tamiya putty you've used on the seams?

[SDKFZ]

Started on the Toes. The Warhound only had 4, this Beast has 5 !!

@ Projectkmo: Ill try

@ Dictator: Sorry, guess ive got a "leadfoot" right now !

@ Mangozac: No, its Humbrol. The Tamiya ones i got here in Sweden were all "runny" and did not set.

Thanks, all of you, for the possitive feedback !

Yeah, more pics. Get to work!

[SDKFZ]

I told you that it would be a SLOW Update rate, so please bear with me !

Didnt have much time to work on the Foot today, but i got this far....


Now you can see how i imagine that it will all come together.
It measures about 17 cm. in width and is roughly 25 mm. high.

Well see when i have the time to post again.

Made more Toes. Think it looks OK sofar.

Judge for yourself :



The Leg Hydraulics will be attached to the five plasticbeads on the Base.

Questions, just ask !!

Ahh.. how sweet to see more of your grand skill!
Take your time, but keep us updated.

[SDKFZ]

Thank Mates !!

Havent had time to work on it Yesterday. Will see if i get around to it Tonight.

But then again we have a drill with the Friebrigade so who knows ?

Im searching for a Tube to add to the top of the Leg, as a outerCasing for the central Piston.

i be watching this, nice start

[SDKFZ]

Sorry, no Pics. today.

Done some more Toes and started on the main Piston + the five supports.

Also, found some Pipes that i can use as the Knee and Hip joints.
Thank God for D.I.Y. Shops !!

If im pleased ill post some Pics. tomorrow.

[SDKFZ]

Not much, but hereis the Pic. i promised.

Leg in current state :


The smaller Pistons are not glued down yet, they will be aligned and pined in the same tilted shape as the main one.

Looking at the FW Reaver i saw that it had some sort of Cogwheel on the Kneejoint, so i did my own version.

K&K sofar, anyone ?

I have a sneaky feeling this is going to look excellent

[SDKFZ]

Lets hope so, Thanks !

I think attention to detail is the key here, and with you taking your time and from that Warhound I don't think that's going to be a problem
I've not dared to get my templates and knives out to attempt my own yet hehe

[SDKFZ]

Why not ? Just have a go and see where it lands !

Its great fun, i Promise !

As far as Details goes, im trying to do the Frame first and then add the Details, TRYING TO !!
