I downloaded this model some time ago from www.5d.biglobe.ne.jp/~compact/ but when I last looked at the site I don't think this model was available any more.
This is really a test build so I can figure out how everything goes together, since the instructions are kind of sparse and written in Japanese too. I plan to build another one with a gloss finish and also eliminate all the tabs and replace them with joining strips for a smoother surface.
In case anyone doesn't know, this a Tachicoma tank from the "Ghost in the Shell: Stand alone complex" anime series. These little tanks are AI driven with a naive little girls personality(makes sense, doesn't it??) but can hold a single operator in the rear abdomen when necessary. In the series they have small wheels on the ends of there feet for rapid movement on roads and such, but this version has three toed feet instead.
Anyways, here is the progress so far although I'll be taking a slight break from it to test build Getter1's Cyclone model. But should have some more progress on this by the end of the week. O, and I apologize for the picture quality/size, I'm using my cell phone to take the pictures since I don't have a camera anymore.:roll:
This first one is just an overview of what I have so far.
Here is a detail of the "cup sockets" that the legs have, They are a pain to make so far, but maybe I'll get better at the next two.
