Do you remember this?
Then get a load of this:
Over on the IHMN board at the Lead Adventure Forums one of our stalwarts, Count Thorwin (Iron Cross with nut clusters) has built the Kaiser Wilhelm walker from the cover of IHMN.
You can see more photos of it and a description of how he built it here: http://www.lead-adventure.de/index.php?topic=64203.0
