Foehammer's 2019 New Year's Resolution
Project-log-o-mancy
Ok, so I got side-tracked with my spring cleaning project for a while, but decided now was the time to come back and give some status on my endlessly growing K47 forces. Latest is my “Meadow” (Marine Engineering and Demolishions Walker). A conversion of the basic grizzly walker.
Their released rules for Armored Recovery Vehicle (ARV) walkers in K47. The idea here is that the USMC, who have very few vehicles (and thus very little use for an ARV) received a bunch of ARV due to a logistical paperwork error. Rather than let them go to waste, they modified them into engineering vehicles for assaulting/destroying japanese fortifications. Alterations include additional cutting and drilling tools on the left arm, as well as a hull-mounted flame thrower.
There was a lot of plasticard work on this model, including building the entire crane assembly. I also reposed the legs to a kneeling position, and created the custom-base to give it a more cinematic, and action-packed feel. Overall I was very pleased with the results.
I also included an image of what it looked like during assembly prior to painting.
