Destiny - Fallen Walker Tank

pinshape

Here is one of my most anticipated prints, the Fallen walker/spider tank from Destiny! This is a game rip from (I believe) Destiny 2, so special thanks are in order for Coverop from the Destiny Model Rips discord for extracting the model. Getting this print-ready was a daunting task but once I dove into it, the work just flew by. Everything should be airtight and ready to go. I love the look of this model and have done so for a long time, even before I got into Destiny. Even if you don't play the game, it still looks rad and will make a good addition to any model collection on your desktop or shelf. The model comes in 25 pieces, requiring some assembly, but not much; everything slots together perfectly for the most part. Unfortunately, you'll need glue for some things: the rear hatch and the belly plate, and possibly the leg plating. Everything should already be optimally oriented for printing, but beware of removing scaffolding from smaller parts like the forward manipulator arms or the spikes/sensor package on the front of the head; those broke when I tried to remove them from my first print. Also, be careful with the spikes on the main body when handling it during cleanup and attaching the legs and turret. The legs will need some working in to fit into their sockets but once they're in, they should stay snug and tight. I didn't even need sanding for mine, even though I thought I would initially. The cannon barrel should also fit into its socket without any touch-up, although it was a very tight fit and may depend on the material you're printing with; same goes for the turret fitting into the tank hull. The leg plating is the trickiest part to put on and as I said, you may need glue for it. They were intended to just slot on but the scale I printed off made that not completely feasible so do all your finishing and painting before attaching them (ideally with some glue). Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this model as much as I do. Have fun printing!
