As mentioned last August, I've decided to do a serious attempt at a redesign of my Hailfire Droid in order to get those proportions right. After about 150 hours spread across the past half year and plenty of (expensive) Bricklink orders, I've come to a point in development where I'm ready to write something about it.
Literally, the last blogpost regarding my Hailfire Droid has been over three years ago.
So, where to start? I think it's best to go chronologically through the process in how I got from the previous iteration to what is currently on my desk. And that starts with the wheel size.
