This is an early design mecha that was developed before a stable walking
system was devised. This one is still in use, many years after the majority
of those of a similar vintage were scrapped. It is employed as a spaceport
support vehicle on far off Pluto where reliability is valued far above
elegance. It’s duties include handling cargo, repairing hulls etc, hence the
non-spec arm attachments.
This mech grew around the window arrangement. Originally I wanted stumpy legs
on it, but went for the treads instead, I think they work well.

Nice background info and really nice model! I really like the tread
configuration..it took me a moment to figure out how you did it, and another
moment to bang my head on the desk asking, “Why didn’t I think of that??” Way
cool stuff to look at.
I also like that your pilot has a relatively easy way to get out.
Great job!
