That is a GREAT SITE! I enjoy looking through it to see what all has been done and get inspiration as well.
I have looked at this site and its realy great if you are looking for references. Again thank you for sharing.
Some more progress, redid the cheek guns, they actually were actually from a flakvierling 38 flak gun kit so decided to scratchbuild them a little closer to what was actually used on the model(first pic is old gun second is new gun). Will be a rather big model when complete. Now onto the undercarriage so I can get the legs completed and then sit back at see what greeblies need to be done.

Been working a lot lately but I'm still making some progression. Had to cut the bottom out because I wasn't paying attention that the undercarriage is inset into the main hull. That was a bit of a set back but I think I got it alright. This is not meant to be a true replica of the movie model, but more of an enjoyable build with the hopes that is looks good.

This or the shrink ray device is in effect - again. This is not the first thread which looks suspicious. I may continue my investigations..!
Did a bunch of work on the legs, semi movable so I can kinda pose it when it is more completed. Lots of greebling to do but the basic shapes have come together pretty good. Last night I tried to make the circular cone part of the top of the foot but just couldn't get it right. Decided today to turn a wooden foot on the lathe and cover it with putty to use as a form to vacuum form them to keep them all pretty identical, I'll then just fit the pads I made into the bottom and complete them with the toes. Still some sanding to do on the mold to smooth it out but it came together nicely.

Just a short video of my redneck vacuum forming technique and set up. It isn't perfect but does the job pretty good and costed nothing to make to very little to make.
