Default imperial crawler. those rebel scum have no chance now!

well just to start off, this is a little different from some of the other axial builds you all may have seen. some of the first pix are of a regular artr build and then I had a great idea and ran with it. hope you all enjoy:-P

next i will have sound effects via a 2gig ipod and an external speaker. also i have a friend drawing up a special set of rock rings for the rims in autocad that will tie the whole imperial theme to the axial perfectly.
