I think I've figured out the central section thing. After much poring over screengrabs and flicking back and forth and compositing in Photoshop and drawing lines over everything, I'm pretty sure that the central section that the central legs attach to is no wider than the cabin. I'm pretty...

The prototype builds are going quite well so far. Here are some pics The middle pic is the first build of the main body in paper, showing the cabin and gun turret. On the right is the new, improved version done in card which is about to be binned once I figure out what's going on with the waist...

This is proving interesting. I'm having a bit of a nightmare with the centre section. Watching through season 2 of Clone Wars again, there's some excellent shots of the various sections of the ATTE - particularly in 'Landing at Point Rain', 'Cargo of Doom' and 'the Deserter'. What's foxing me...

Bingo, bango, bongo! Webcam! Not perfect but you get the idea. Here's the Main leg prototype, a first pass at the hull in paper (including the cabin and gun turret) before I redesigned it and then the new, redesigned hull prototype in card. Crow

Well, the test build of the new body design went quite well, so I'll go with it. So that's the main leg and the body ticked off. Now for the smaller leg(s) and the cannon - oh, and those gun balls. :/ Crow

Right, test building has thrown up some issues. I've constructed one of the central legs which went reasonably well, but, as with the Locust, I think some parts will work better as card and others as paper. The Main body, however is a different matter. I think I over-egged the two main...

Modelling complete (I think). I'm experimenting with the gun balls. I've done a geometric shape (shown) which I don't like but might be infinitely less fiddly than a proper sphere, which I'm also trying (just visible on the far side). Let the test-building begin! Oh and it's intended to be...

Sorry, guys. I made the mistake of editing it again! :( I'll know next time! Crow

I started this a while back, but having had such rewarding success with my Locust, I've now got the bug and dragged this out to complete it. It's to put on my desk in work, so it'll be around 6 inches long when finished. Crow

This is a Locust from very early Battletech before it was dropped, having been stolen unashamedly from the anime, Crusher Joe. Not sure of the scale but it's 15cm (6") tall when built. I've supplied a variety of alternate textures aswell. RAR file containing PDO, instructions in PDF...
