This is a Luther (class walker).
It comes frome the Dust Game range, based on a comic set in an alternate WWII where these things were in common use with the German army.
Its a 1/35th resin kit, easy to build, fun to paint.
Hope you like it.

This picture appeared on a site called Grey Falcon, its a sort of Nazi conspirancy site, some wierd conjecture on it, but I mentions the concept of walking tanks an mecha, I somehow doubt the Germans ever thought of it during the war though, but its a cool pic so I added it.

Re: Luther

I think there might be scale issues

Ouch! that's a shame, it's great model but resin needn't be so expensive. Just out of interest, how big is it? (I imagine quite large considering it's 1/35th scale)  

@Mark: if your looking Battle-Tech models in the correct scale check out Ral Partha Europe's range. If you want some armoured walkers in 28/30mm scale, I'd get those ones from Grendel I showed you a few weeks back.

Re: Luther

The ones that are £2.50 for 4 are the plastic ones from EM4 Miniatures, not as high quality as the metal ones from Ral Partha but the price makes them good for building up a force.

Nope completely different universes but similarly Weird War II. I've been working on a few bits from both that I was going to use with my own rules that are still in development. The big 1/35 scale resin Dust models are a bit pricey but the gaming ones aren't to bad.
