WIP: KGC-010 King Crab and AEM-02 Dragoon
« on: 05 September 2017, 11:35:02 »
Finished adding the legs and did the base work for the claws of my KGC-010 King Crab.  Also primed up my AEM-002 Dragoon.

Huh. That's a unique look for the KGC. I like it actually.

The legs are backward on the Dragoon below the knee.

I was going for an awkward backwards under fire look.   I succeeded too well apparently.

Parts list on the King Crab, please! Recognise the Blackjack arms as lower arms, but the legs are not coming up in mind.

Looking forward to seeing it painted!

I admit, I'd have probably preferred a ML cluster in the Dragoon's left arm, but canon is canon ;)

Using the Hellfire legs, cut up the hellion legs to use as the upper arms, and for the PPC/SRM combo, using a pair of Seraph heads.  I decided on the seraph heads for the fins mentioned in the fluff text and probably figure out a way to put the SRM holes around the ppc barrel.  Mounting them flush in the hull sounded a bit dull too.

Update.  Claws came out a little less crabby than I liked,  but I like the overall look.
