I'll admit, I was slow to warming up to the Camel. It's such an awkward looking armored Lunar walker. There is very little that is cool looking but maybe that is why it ends up looking cool. ;D
Here is my build of the Hasegawa LUM-168 Camel "Operation Dynamo". This is the second release molded in silver plastic.
The silver plastic posed many problems. It was harder to glue and clean up because the flow marks made everything look like a seam that needed to be cleaned up. It took a couple of rounds of primer and sanding, especially the main body and legs. The fine hull panel lanes were rescribed and cleaned up.
I replaced the kit molded tubing with Wave springs and added a few small details.

Re: LUM-168 Camel
Always refreshing to see something not armor related, not that I can talk.

Re: LUM-168 Camel
Well done Bryan
I just noticed the large nozzle on the rear....and now I'm imagining it merrily hopping around the moon like a weird hunchbacked kangaroo

Re: LUM-168 Camel
Thanks!
That's kinda what it does in the story line. Short bursts and hops. I few of the other designs hop too.Philipp Gross wrote: ↑28 Nov 2022, 23:51 I just noticed the large nozzle on the rear....and now I'm imagining it merrily hopping around the moon like a weird hunchbacked kangaroo
