Goliath

Good afternoon everyone. I was going to introduce this tomorrow on the Web Call as many of you have been following it's progress. I still may make a few tweaks, but it is complete and as you can see, on groundwork with the Warhammer figures in the foreground for reference.

As you may remember, y'all sent several sci fi artist pics to give me ideas on what to build back in May ??  So, this is what resulted from all that experimentation. The intention was to look somewhere between a wargaming vehicle and Steam Punk.  It may be difficult to recognize the three main armor hulls used in this monstrosity.

KV-5, M113 (2). Most of the rest was scrap built or modified components of the KV-5 kit. You can see that the track systems worked out near perfectly in spacing and alignment. Since the vehicle is 1/48 scale, I was able to use Tamiya German crew figures inside the turret. 

Of course at this size there was room for some lighting and circuits. Lights look better in person so be at the next meeting in November.

The groundwork depicts a battlefield where Goliath and troops have routed the enemy and overrun their emplacement.

Normally a scrap build design project like this takes a year or so working sporadically, but this was so much fun, the work moved along rather quickly.
