So,
Currently in the mid of a Power loader build that I've been wanting to build since our family vacation 1987 and I saw the kit in a hobby-shop while we stayed a couple of nights in Brighton, UK.
Anyway, long time coming. So, I've made some modifcations to the basic kit, most apparent I guess is to add alu-tubes to the actuators.
I'll just throw in some pictures below from my Flickr, I belive most will speak for themselves:
My main reference is from an old Cinefex by the way:
I did not really like how the rear side of the foot corresponds to the prop-photos I've seen so I felt a need to modify this,
Primed:
Red base coat:
Painted yellow:
Also I wanted to modify the grip/clamp-thingy so that they were not static, as the kit itself is just one molded piece.
At the moment, this is were I'm at. And most likely, this is where I'll stay for some time since I just became a father and therefore occupied on this other 'project' for some time. I will try to squeeze in some work whenever the little boy newcomer is feeling sleepy and such
