Thanks to everybody who replied on Stormwalker. It gave a strong motivation to me getting such constructive critics.

They brought me to rethink the design which resulted in some modifications. The overall result I’d like to share.

So this is Stormwalker MKII

Stormwalker MkII



The Greatest benefit I took from Mark’s statement that the feet were to small and so the cause of many of my problems. I never had tried bigger feet but the original ones definetly were too small. The new ones are much better.

Thus I had more stability I could solve the second problem: too small weapons (although I thought they weren’t that small). You were right they were! I didn’t want to bulk up the body cause I really like the shape. But with the modified weapons it looks much heavier.

I also managed to get the hips tighter by two studs not much but it helps.

Last but not least I added some pictures showing dismantling for transport. Looks a bit like at the butcher’s...

Thanks again
Marco

Here is the Stormwalker. (2 URLs) I thought of a heavy assult mech when I started building. As I knew it would become a bit bigger I had to chose light gray/blue color scheme (because of brick amount). Some facts: Its average hight is about 45cm (...)
