So I am very much out of the loop with Blender, and with 2.8 just around the corner I have dug up an old abandoned project from years ago that I am going to use to get the hang of things. 

Meet “Kriegshuhn” (which is apparently War Chicken in German) 

My vision for this is that it is an experimental Mech developed by the German army in WWII . After researching some of the real prototypes that they made – some of which were crazy , I wanted to design what they may have come up with had they attempted a Mech back then. This model has no concept art , or initial sketches, it is all just made up as I go, and the initial blockouts profile looked very birdlike , so I went with it. After all, loads of German armor was named after animals : Tiger, Panther , Elephant… so why not a chicken? 

Im really glad I’m going to resurrect this and actually finish it because I put a lot of hours into it , and its also partially rigged, so Im looking forward to finishing and animating it whilst picking up 2.8 along the way 🙂 

Here are some WIP shots of it at present, a lot of it is still in the blocking stage though  :  

Currently, I am modelling the engine :
