A video of my kitbashed Arachni-rig the Kriegsspinne. I thought a video would be an easier way to show her as she's not very conventional. It's an unusual take and not to everyones taste but I like her.

i think that’s a sweet piece. i especially like how, from a certain angle, it looks like an actual spider.
so what was the complaint? awkward pilot position?

Just that everyone had envisioned it as a power loader. I had an image of this thing climbing through the hive and thought, I reckon I can do that. It has an alternate mode, which is upright. I'm waiting on some bits and I'll build it
not st all. “arachnarig” makes me think of yours. or ArtelW’s “doc ock” version. Power Loader is more “brute” to me. oh well, different strokes and all that.Just that everyone had envisioned it as a power loader.

I obviously agree, I've imagined how the pilot is installed, the way the head of the rig moves down on a double ball jointed arm to create a cowl/for the pilot. The back legs would become stabilisers and weight bearing for heavy industrial work.
The middle to legs are swapped out for a more battle based rig, allowing for quadrapedal movement and simultaneous firing from 3 potential weapons (the twin linked I'm counting as one. Sorry I'm waffling, basically I went too far.
not at all! that sounds really sweet. i wouldn’t go for anything that ambitious, but then again i’m not very “van saar-ish”I obviously agree, I've imagined how the pilot is installed, the way the head of the rig moves down on a double ball jointed arm to create a cowl/for the pilot.

Probably on my Facebook or Instagram, I've not seen another like mine anywhere. I'm sure fw will produce a fantastic model but I enjoyed doing this, before I would have been afraid to hack away at models. I look for different possibilities now.
I'd love to see it! One of the best aspects of the hobby is seeing how fertile people's imaginations can be.
I based it on an Infinity Yu Jing but here ya go. It's roughly 90%

Support legs both pinned (only glued on the leg side, seems like I need more detail at the join). You can see the top legs over the shoulder, both are prepped at the join and I'm actually satisfied with those but I'll need to figure out how the weapons will attach.. feel free to throw in any...

Ah yes, I've seen a couple like this. I was initially tempted to go with something similar but I try to restrict myself to gw stuff. Not entirely sure why.I based it on an Infinity Yu Jing but here ya go. It's roughly 90%

I can appreciate that. I try and do the same when I can but when I spotted those base minis, I knew I could make something that fits.
