Some time ago, Agent Cooper sent me some Thor legs he had made in the MW4 style. Last week I started cutting plastic using the plans I drew up for a 1/35 scale some years ago. This will be in 1/60 scale. I am using the Armorcast weapons for one arm and will scratch build the other. Here is where I am at now.

Cool, but the arm, need some meat on them bones, one AC20, or even an AC10, could probably take off that arm and throw your ability to fight back effectively out the proverbial damn window.

You know that the thor was developed like that. I hope you have played the Table top or read the tech man.

I had thought about some meat on the arm, but that is the TRO design....and I like it. The main reason I went with the MW4 legs is because the TRO versions just would not really work well. I am probably going to change the hip set up to make it more TRO-ish.

I stalled on mine a while back but maybe this will kick my *** back on it. Cant wait to see how your build goes bud.

Not too much progress. I armored up the torso a bit, made the spot for the missle launcher and have cut some tubing to size...oh, and I hacked off the wang.

Looks great! I want to try this plastic resin business. I have only messed with green stuff and super sculpey.

Here is an update. Everything is loosly stuck together for the pics. I still need to work out the Autocannon arm design...also the knee guards. The first ones were too big. I think this is a good blend of the MW4 Thor with TRO elements.

Nicely done bud! Im digging the thigh launchers as well.

[TheTeacher]

I have cast a set just for you...I had a feeling you would like them.

[TheTeacher]

Well, it is about done and I am happy with the MW4 blended with the TRO look. I added the knee guards and some rounded flares on the lower legs...to add to the TRO feel. Now the big problem...the resin on the upper leg, right side did not cure properly...so the paint will not set (you can see it...its shiny). I guess I will have to take that leg apart, mold the piece and repaint.
