I wanted an Axis flame thrower walker similar to a Hot Dog, so I have decided to scratch build one. Here are the preliminary pictures. I will be sealing the gun-shield with putty and sanding it smooth, as well as adding rivets.

At first I thought it was too big, but it follows the basic combat arm size, and German flame throwers were longer than Allied models,so I mimicked them in this.

I considered giving it the same stats as a Hot Dog, as far as the flame thrower goes. However, with the double tanks, I also thought it might be cool to have an ALL IN ONE attack, where it can double its flame thrower dice once per game (2/SKULL instead of 1/SKULL). It would not have any other special abilities.

Very nice conversion ... I like the double tanks and the longer barrel makes a lot of sense. The All-in-One attack works too.

I like this...looking forward to seeing it finished.

Maybe it's worth considering having the all-in-one attack empty the tanks, so maybe it needs a turn or two to refill and so can not attack. I did this w/ the Fenris I built and in testing it worked very well...it's a good offset to the advantage. (admittedly I haven't really used the flamethrower much yet so I'm not sure how much of an advantage 2 skulls is)

BTW, I replied to your post/question on the Grumbler thread.

Nice job so far, Dude. Scratch-building definitely widens the gaming possibilities.
