GP-2 Hellfire

Recommended Posts

Cooper Works, the second in a series of Mech’s, or as I call them, GP’s “Ground Pounders”. Again the theme is based in WW2 and rooted out of Detroit Michigan!

GP-2 or “Hellfire” was developed for the Pacific Theater, where the hidden enemy is playing havoc on our troops. Its design is to root out the enemy from there bunkers and underground networks. Its main weapon however, is not its Flame Thrower or 20mm Cannon, not even the four .30 cal machine guns, but rather pure intimidation! Taking the will to fight out of the enemy! Seeing this guy come over a ridge will send a clear message. “You’re next and there is nothing you can do about it”

Designed in SR3D / Bricks = 485 / Brickarms = 4 9/.03 MACHINE GUNS

Light Walker GP-2 “HELLFIRE”

Built by Jeff Churill “AKA Cooper Works”

Prepared under the direction of

The chief of ordinance

(With the cooperation of the Cooper Works Company Detroit, MI)

Description

The light GP-2 “Ground Powder” is an armored walker vehicle, designed for bunker busting and light support. It’s powered by twin 163hp Jeep 4 cylinder supercharged engines, liquid cooled, straight head side valve type engines. The engines are located in two separate nacelles below the main chase, which power two separate LHS (Leg Hydraulic System), one for each leg. The pilot operates the vehicle with two levers, much like a typical tank would operate. The main chase has 2.5 inch front and 1.0 inch side armor. Its mission is to penetrate and destroy fortified bunkers by using its 20mm cannon at long range to soften the bunker. Then move in and use its flame thrower to penetrate and eliminate the threat. However its main weapon is intimidation, to take the will to fight out of the enemy.

Crew

One crew member is position high atop the main chase.

Armament

The main chases primary weapon is a 200 gallon Flame Thrower, with a range of 100 yards. Secondary weapon is a 20mm Cannon. Backup weapons are four .30 cal machine Guns.

There are quite a few Lego mechs out there, and this one looks the most realistic. The size is perfect for a minifig, and the cockpit details are the icing on the cake. Well done!

That looks like it could bring down a 100-meter robotic scorpion (which, incidentally, is one of the projects I'm planning) if given a little backup. Awesome.

Normally I would point out "it's a lot like your other Mech" ... but even though it's the same basic frame DAMN....

That looks amazing.

Once again the build is spectacular. The Decal work is nothing short of brilliant.

I wish you lived closer - then I could pay you to decal up my mocs :laugh:

Seriously great work and fantastic presentation as always ... what's up next?
