It's been a while since I don't build anything silly! About time!

Spoiler! WIP ahead
|
If you take the look back, when I built the mining suit with an Ambot I said I had another spare pair of legs. I had to do something with them! The first thing that came to mind was, of course, a walker. You may remember my Don Quirixote of Manchae Prime (Pt. 1 and Pt. 2) and his loyal Sancho Panzer. Oh, and the second version I made for a pal of both Quixote and Sancho.
So well, what could I use this time?

Well, the ever reliable Kinder egg, what else?

This is all I had. That's my starting point
|
I didn't want another horse-like walker. I thought I could explore other shapes. I found this seat and thought I could use it

From a Space Marine Attack Bike, if I'm not mistaken

So there it is!

I started to glue random bits wherever
|
Though I considered the option of placing the seat at the front of the thing, the idea of placing it at a side looked more interesting to me.

Possibly not comfortable
|
I needed a rider and I toyed with the idea of sculpting it from scratch, but then I found a Sentinel pilot and said 'hey, I'm too lazy for this shit, I'll just use this guy'.
I greenstuffed the belly to make him fat. But I wanted something else, something distinctive, something that made him different. And then I came with the idea of a mug.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQUdI9Ss1rNHmrBgKj2rWQ_fnRv-3Qx-ul1Xxwz5cRQQsp9EG8dSaa0HZ3Q7j9rRf0pTVhfuM70vh2Ta3DbddwtjACTcn1515s_hzB0Js8JzT-M5BlbJMpNlHS1NCy7Y1Ij37Vpw9FZlg/w640-h480/2020-11-03+23.10.45.jpg) |
Could be a pint of beer, but the coffee mug made more sense to me
|
It's but a brush cap, which I cut hoping it could look in place. I wanted him to look like on a dull, boring routine, drinking his bland recaf drink with his scarf up to his ears.
This was the final disposition of the walker then:

That's a mere piece of gauze
|
My main choices of colour this time were white or orange. Maybe red would have worked too, but I opted for white in the end.

I used my usual recipe. Flat brown wash to dirt it all...

I should have painted metals and black before, and then dirtied with brown

Second layer of weathering using darker brown, and finally very dark brown with a sponge

I also forgot to mention that jerry can! It's hanging with thread :D

So here you have the final result. I painted a silly 'Ego -love- Terra' on the mug. It was simple enough; had I tried anything more complex I would have ruined it. Less is more. Of course it's bad Latin and inaccurate grammar, but makes the pun recognizable, so it's staying :P

Oh, you hadn't seen my sexy rear parts

A final shot, alongside his fellow walkers, so you have a size comparison:

This one looks dirtier then the previous ones!

Well, it looks like I finally put those legs to an use at last! Hmmm, what else can I build now...?
