Default Re: Any chance we'd ever see an OGRE Macroture now?

I work nights, so on my nights off, I usually end up laying in bed awake anyway. So last night I mentally deconstructed a Mk. III and tried to define how many parts a kit would need. I stopped someplace around 175 or 180 -- so we'd be talking a rather complex little kit in 1:72 scale (which, for the record, would be about 10.5" long -- 267mm).

Lots of ideas for scratchbuilding one, too. For example, the tapered barrels of the Secondary Batteries could be made using small paint brushes as starting points.

One of Winchell Chung's artworks, when scaled at 74% (on my monitor) gives a nice 1:72 scale image to gauge from.
