    actually yeah :D. still putting together the kickstarter materials. One of the backer rewards is a extended soviet chassis that has space for 2 turrets and six legs... something like the fictional soviet KV-6 land battleship.

    I really like how distinct the "personalities" of each nationality are in the details. = ]

    American T66 Tank part 1. Render shows Mk8 Legs, Mk7 Turret, and Chassis. While the Mk8 leg is certainly inspired by the French design, it is not robust enough to support mass of French chassis and turret.

    Backer reward update #1
    Advanced Sensors for the French. Right side is standard, comes with Chassis. Left side is Advanced version.

    Combat Engineering Turret, American. Stowed, and Extend positions. This one will require a good deal of assembly, but I expect it'll be a fun one.

    Oh gosh, that looks like fun! = ] Interaction with the crane boom should offer a lot of posing potential.

    Hehe, I hope it works in print. Seems like it should, but always possible something doesn't work out.

    how the printer gets it

    Design work is on track, with one more Turret and Leg option for American and British, that will complete the main 5 sets by end of this week. Additional design work is being done on Backer Reward British Anti-Air Turret, German Artillery Turret, and Soviet super heavy chassis. And a bonus faction is in the early design phases.

    This render shows British Chassis Mk5. Mk 9 Turret and Legs.
