After last week's build, I was inspired to create another mech to add to my Wild West. I love building mechs.
The idea was a mobile watchtower or outpost that patrols the tundra.

Since it's used for Monster Hunting, you could call this a Stalker. Not only for the meaning of that word, but because it could be a contraction of Stilt Walker as well. Stiltwalker was my first idea. =)

Having this house-on-a-mech seems like something a prospector would use to stake his claim, since it offers more shelter than a mule, while still allowing the prospector to travel quickly and race to good claims. If prospectors were one of the first groups to use this type or mech, maybe it could be called a claim jumper?

These mechs are used for long term monster hunting in extreme terrain, such as snow, heavy rain, swamps, and large mountains. Unlike other monster hunting vehicles, these act more like tree stands, allowing hunters to get a good view on a monster from a longer distance. Inside the main cabin, all of these mechs have a built in stove and radio, as well as a place to sleep, and store weapons/food. The crane on the back can attach to crates to lift supplies, but they are most notably used to attach to hunters, allowing them to do repairs on the mech without the need to stop.

There's something very soothing about it and is putting me in a relaxing mood. had at be at a 7:30 meeting at work today, on my day off, and so now that I'm home I don't want to do anything. So I'm watching youtube videos as I draw. Listening to him describe what he's doing is nice and then when he's done, I get to see the final build. So, i don't have to pay that close attention to the screen so I can focus on what I'm drawing, but something about his tone is just nice to the ears. Dude should do audio books.
