That is one, cool model, Eric. Those click-hinges look like they
work real well for that type of thing, it makes it very posable as you
mentioned. The number of different ways the legs could be positioned
would make for numerous positions the walker could be in.

Well this is my first attempt at 2 things.

1.  A Walker

This model is loosely based on the Star Wars AT-PT.  I was attempting an • AT-PT

For the most part I like the general design but I am sure it will change
somewhat over the next couple of weeks as it seems most of my models do.

The interior is fully detailed although I have not taken any interior • pictures

I have posted a few more pics for the walker I created.

As I said before this walker turned out to have an unplanned benefit that • it is
highly possable.  I have included a couple pictures of it "walking" as • well as
one of it stepping up about an inch although it seems to be able to do up • to 2
inches without much problem.

There is also a picture of the top of the walker and 2 pictures of the
interior.

Once again let me know what you think
