That's a very cool walker. In fact I remember it when the designer was selling it on Ebay. It's very light - though I don't remember what the material was.

The screening material looks like it has a lot of bounce.

I'd hate to try walking this beast on a regular field - but it's ideal for a place like Blanding. (It's so flat someone had a pbtank based on a Segway there...lol)

Hi, I am the creator/driver of the tank and thanks to Junkie for posting about it. It is a Hum Vee inspired tank. It has one law port in the front and 4 gun ports on the side. Outside is made of Coregated plastic 1/2". The metal grill was used because I didn't have paintball netting available (now I do) but yeah, quick fix. Also quick fix on the feet. Put some netting down there and we never recieved that first shot at Blanding. What was so cool about this walker was someone "got it" that its a transport and actually used it to drop off players at buildings they were having a hard time getting to. Another was anyone could use it in the game. It wasnt exclusive to me or a team. So i had several "guest" in the tank. Some loved the experience, some didn't care for it. Contact me if your interested in what you see or something like it. I would be your go to guy.

Not bad. I am too fat and lazy to do a walker... Maybe I should then I wouldnt be..

Anyway, nice walker. The corogated plastic is what I want for my tank armor. Light weight and tough.

Hey Mothman!

It was great finally meeting you and playing against you at at Stormwynd Blanding. Our face to face encounter was our most memorable tank battle, which I unfortunately didn't capture on film.

We had missed hitting you, you took off, and then we went after the the Dawn Patrol tank. You suprised us by returning, and then we were face to face - shooting at each other almost point blank. Our walker and the ref both saw the nerfs pass each other in mid-air, both hitting each tank squarely. It was very cool.

I did however capture one time when we got you after I think you were dropping off troops to the Hotel. Shortly after, we were also killed, and then you attempted to ram us into submission <LOL>

Sorry for the crooked and screened video - we're still figuring out the tank-cam..

I've had tanks on a field before. The experience was what you would expect a tank to be like, but at Blanding, against your tank and the other one, it was more like Battleship.
That was our most memorable encounter too. The last thing we wanted to do was go head to head with you guys. When we saw you guys coming, we didnt want to stick around and find out if you could hit us or not, so we ducked down a side road. After making the turn,we quickly decided to turn around and go after you anyway. You guys truely have the tank to beat. Great advisaries. Maybe one day soon we will both do blanding again.

I took a ride. It's a great looking walking tank but the gun ports especially need some work. Extremely difficult to shoot out of. I'm pretty tall so it was like trying to shoot from just above waist height and having to move the entire gun to reposition the barrel. Maybe rubber/elastic flaps over larger holes would help. Flaps in the windows would make it so you could shoot from a more comfortable position.
