I didn't know where else something like this should go but you might find it interesting.
This is from an obscure series called Junk Tank Rock and were only available from a one day event called Wonder Festival held in Japan. This is a very limited run garage kit from the 2008-09 time frame. Maybe less than 100 were ever kitted. The designs only exist as kits; there was never an anime or manga but the line has had influence far beyond it's limited run. You know those wasteland airplane/cars you see online and at model shows? That was started with this series.
The cockpit hatch was molded closed so I ground out the resin bits and replaced with some styrene strip stock and an SU-152 hatch which is what the resin kit had. There is a small interior and I plan on a figure standing in the hatch. The vehicle is impossibly small but still cool. It was only 13 pieces so went together quickly.
I have built a few others if you are curious about other designs in the line.

Re: JTNCA Walker
It's an odd one for sure. I've only seen 1 or 2 built over the years.

Most impressive
I'd put it on top of some post-apocalyptic stairway

Re: JTNCA Walker
Thanks Shawn and Adam - It was indeed a fun little project. 13 parts and off to painting. Very little clean-up and no PE to worry about.
