I have been working on this one for about a year now. This 'DUST Gunther' kit was one of John Ford's collection. As Sci Fi, it seemed totally unlike him, but it did depict German Armor.
The kit was OK, not great and the instructions were not entirely coordinated with the actual parts. These were limited run kits as part of some comic book series.
The Walking Panzer II was very articulated, making it tough to get set up as the joints were very loose. I finally had to glue them as I made the final set up in the working gantry.
The gantry was composed of parts from an old Revell Oil Rig kit. Been using these parts for years. I wanted to do something more than just the kit. I enhanced it with more details and decided to open some of the hatches and allow the unit to be in a service and re-arm mode. The figures were standard Tamiya service crew.
I also added a crane assembly from a Berge Tiger kit. I had to modify it to be electrically operated as the crank assembly was not reachable from the work gantry.
I added several work tables, tools and parts including a resin welding set.
The concrete pad was just sheet plastic that I scribed grooves in painted and weathered.
