Thanks guys. It's one of those projects that I have had in my mind for a while and have been gathering info and parts for over a year. I started out planning to use pieces from off casts from a Gladiator resin kit, but the quality of even the better pieces made me decicde to replace most of the parts. I finally dove into it the other weekend. I don't know how clear it comes across, the bright white is styrene and the off white pieces are the resin bits, and of course the color bits are from various kits or Option Parts. I have not been as diligent as I have been in the past on progress images, so, there is nothing earlier than these. More images can be found at my Picture Trail Account in the link in my sig.
A little background info as provided by Jason Eaton:
"As deciphered from Mr. O's site:
Centaur (Club Crab)
Mercenary Force's unmanned four-legged walker tank.
Low-cost type unmanned tank made based on the chassis of the walker tank Gradiator from the [merc.] force, the armament is for firing conventional rounds, all of which makes it a simple unit.
Normally, it carries out tactical operations in conjunction with a Gradiator.
In the early days of its depolyment, owing to a silhouette reminiscent of a crab, and card "club" markings applied to the body, the soldiers of the [merc.] forces at some point ended up nicknaming it "Club Crab", although it is not certain that other forces called it the same way.
Note: To spell KENTAURUS' [name used in Japanese], this site adopted "Centaur", which is most common in English, which is supposed to be the official language of the Mercenary Forces; however, other spelling exist."
