The Wolf Strider is a dangerous machine. It's long and powerful legs can move it across the land very fast while also being very quiet. This near silence that the Wolf achieves allows it to creep up on enemy targets easily.
The main gun of the Wolf is strong enough to penetrate most forms or armor. The relatively small size of the Wolf means that it cannot carry many rounds and thus must be sure with each shot. The side weapons are extremely sharp grappling harpoons meant to entangle and slow down enemy units. With no anti-infantry weapons available and with thin armor the Wolf must be wary of infantry unless it exterminates them with its powerful legs.

Thankfully these majestic Vultures are not so far succumbing to the chemical induced population crashes that have afflicted their cousins across Asia and now Africa.
I can't help shooting this sort of angle, it just works for me so no apologies! Absolutely loving shooting with my Agfa Record at the moment, it's just such a pleasure to use and the massive 6x9 negs are a treat.

African Jacanas are equipped with long, gangly legs and clawed toes, making it possible for them to walk over floating hydrophytes – usually water lilies – with impressive agility. Female African Jacanas (which are larger than their mates) defend territories, which include multiple males in adjacent areas. Females lily-hop from male to male, laying about four eggs, marbled with light brown and black for camouflage. She then moves on, leaving the male to do all the dirty work. He sits on the eggs and, after they hatch, dedicates himself to rearing the chicks. This stay-at-home dad even carries his young ones under his wings to keep them safe and warm until they are about two or three weeks old.
bathed in the stark contrasts of morning light and deep shadows, a lone woman strides purposefully through the streets of palma. dressed in white, her movement is swift and unyielding, undeterred by the interplay of light and darkness that envelops her. each step is decisive, driven by an inner resolve and a clear sense of direction. the avenues near plaça espanya become a mere backdrop to her determined journey, where the nuances of light and shade seem irrelevant to her focused path.
The latest of my large walkers started again from the bottom up. I actually build the body on the legs once they are put together. and in this case it was an easy go. Not super poseable but definitely stands well and has an impressive look. This was greatly inspired by the Zentradi from the old macross cartoons I grew up with.

n the old town of barcelona, a passerby strides along a striking pink backdrop, a vibrant contrast to the muted tones of their attire. the walls whisper tales of the past, with patches and textures speaking to the city's rich tapestry. it's a scene where urban life and colorful history intersect, with each step along the cobbled streets adding to the narrative of this bustling catalan corner.
