Default Clan Company Crawler

I plan to make an iron hands clan company crawler which the way i see it is similer to this only much larger since it would be home and training ground to a company of marines.

dunno but its not big enough, i need something massive enough for an intire company to house, train and store weapons and equipment as well as assosiated armour units. And i was thinking 8 legs to easily move acrost the volcanic feilds of madusa. (oh and at-sts have 2 legs not 4 i think you mean the at-at)

what misprint i dident see a misprint. and ya i know its ambitious but i really want to do it. i am probably going to use foamcore or styrospan for most of it then line it with plasticard when i am done. i will probably make lifts on the underside for tanks and a hatch on top for land speeders.

you might want to think of maybe a wood frame
and fill it in with foamcore and detail it in sheet styrene(plasticard)
with a structure that large you might need something sturdier than foamcore

As a fellow Iron Hands guy I'll be watching this very closely. I'm say your best bet would be to make it out of wood or a bunch of plasticard b/c it will have to be massive.

Uhh.. Yeah... Much Much MUCH larger.. Youre talking about something that carries a company of marines... their vehicles.. and thunderhawks?... and you want it to be their home/training ground ? Thats like a crawling aircraft carrier dude.

I think you'll have something about the size of a small car ...

I mean a Tau Manta is about the size of a really small coffee table lol.. And that only holds 4 tanks and 24 firewarriors.. How Big do you plan to go?

the reason i chose to do it this way is because the iron hands don't have a fortress monastarty each clan company travels the surface in these crawlers soince it is not possible to make perminant structures on madusa since it is so volcanicly active.

Good Luck with that my friend. I would only ask that you modify that old Void Vehicle to all heck and back for an Iron Hands mobile fortress. I wouldn't make it look so "organic", i know I know it sounds weird, but it kinda looks like a turtle or something. I wouldn't base it off an animal I would try and think up somthing more orginal or at least mor machine like.

Ohh and for the feet I would recomend Treads, think Johny 5 from Short circut. If it actually walked that would make for a very bumpy ride for the company inside.

My two cents,
Servo

shock absorbers to keep the vibrations minimal would be standard equipment and i want feet because the terrain is so rugged you could easily pop a tread.
