Looks like the start of a slippery slope to me! Next thing you know, you'll be scratch building a land train ;)

There are races you should never begin lightly like gene stealer hybrids, fimirs, zoats,... squats just happen to one of them too.
You start thinking "having one or 2 won't hurt, and you end up screwed...

I really get how you feel. Sorry bro :?

Gah that's it, your boned mate...

But on a plus note you are off to a good start..

Re: What have I done?

During a short break from cleaning my room ( :cry: ) I whipped up a quick 'proof-of-concept' Squat trike.

I tried to make it as easy to replicate several times. The bike is a space marine model, of course, and the rider is an odd mish-mash of ork biker, empire knight and Squat, but as a test run I'm pretty happy!

What do you guys think so far? :)

Excellent job, it's all coming together very convincingly. Just might need some way for the Squat to get up there easily - step ladder in the back?

I've finally got some more work done on the squat trike prototype - specifically the weapon mount/platform thingy. I decided to go for a little platform attached to some pneumatic biz-niz to give it some realism and to make sure the little guy can reach the gun controls... the weapon mount should hopefully be adaptable for a variety of different heavy weapons :grin:

What is it with you English and your lack of sleep. Half of my Twitter timeline is English and the lot of you are posting stuff somewhere after I go to bed and before I get up, here on US time!

Well I tend to not sleep dew to my Wife, she is both Epileptic and suffers dissociative seizures on top of the Epileptic ones both are rather common at night. So at best i get 2/3 hours in a row before one or the other hits and I have to get up and do what needs to be done.
 
I started a second bike for the purposes of making a step-by-step photo tutorial - I'll put it together over the long weekend hopefully :) I've also upgraded the rear tyres to fatter ones to better emulate that sweet old squat style - do y'all think it's an improvement? ?
