Hmm, it's a neat looking vehicle, but it makes me wonder if it can actually move. |

Hmmm, I like 90 to 95% of it. Not to be a naysayer, but as an engineer I think the legs, bent as they are, extending beyond the front of the hull, look very exposed and vulnerable. The front needs some form of cow-catcher/bumper/armor wrap. At first I thought the legs were stabilizers for firing, then I realized there was no wheels or treads! Just IMHO and worth what you paid for it! ;) |

At first I thought the legs were stabilizers for firing, then I realized there was no wheels or treads! Me, too. I think the legs are too short for walking at any reasonable speed. |

Really how does it move?? Maybe if the top part of the leg was pointed down?? |

Maybe one set of legs are on backwards? Everything gets planted, then clockwork style, they ratchet forward (or backwards).
Then one by one the legs wind forward again.
Feasible? |

would look great with tracks. |

I think the legs need work, but the hull is excellent stuff. As others have pointed out, it isn't very clear how it could walk with legs jointed and set in such a manner. Maybe something a bit more clearly based on, say, the joint system of an elephant or rhinoceros? Fix the legs and I'm in for one. |
