Fat Ma.k Buta Demo #8 - Powered Armor Demolition Unit

So I wanted to try to make a "Mech" or robot type model. Since a lot of my experience with such is from building the Machinen Kreiger plastic models the result was heavily inspired along those lines. It's base loosely on a custom version of the D8/B8 Raccoon model. I modeled it in 3ds Max, textured in Substance Painter and rendered in Vray. This unit has most of it's mechanics located internally - thus the enormous "gut" and nickname "Buta", which is Japanese for "pig" or "pork". While primarily a manned (suit separates at skirt/legs and is lifted then lowered over standing pilot) armored power suit it can be remotely control and use in a "drone" capacity as in bomb or hazardous waste disposal. This slow moving hog is powered by a small electric motor backpack and internal battery. Due to the low power source it must be towed to and from the general area of need. There is a tow right on the lower from of the "gut" for that purpose. The heels can be lifted allowing the feet to roll .
