Next Project---Win a cookie!

Well, I'm burned out on Little Birds for the moment, so I've started something ten times more involved and difficult. It will likely be 100% scratch built, and while I would like to have built it 1/18 scale, it would have been far too big and cost WAY too much in styrene. I was thinking about 1/32 scale but fudged the math and ended up with 1/25 scale. Oh well, I was kinda watching Spongebob at hte time and my math ain't so great anyhow and I haven't seen my calculator in a couple of years. I'll leave it mostly a secret until its finished, so expect to see this thread again in about six months, and the two or three of you who might have any interest in the subject will be impressed.
Hopefully.

I'll post one pic of my weekend progress as a hint. Anyone who guesses what I'm building gets a cookie:

(Yeah, I hate secrets and surprises too, but hopefully it will be a tad more impressive this way. Or not.)

I have no idea what it is/will be. But I do like the song from which your signature was taken.

Do I get a cookie?

I may have to send you a cookie just for that!
I almost enjoyed that song more than the game itself, which was blast by itself.

I even have a 320kbps rip of the song in my library.

I don't remember how/where I came across the song, but I found the video on YouTube. I showed it to my girlfriend, and now we both like it. Now we even manage to work it into conversation, often as an inside joke...

"Maybe Black Mesa... Ha-Ha... Fat chance!"

Some sort of cannon .

One piece looks like it could be a part of an AH-64 Apache, but the rest I can't really place so I'm not so sure.

You've got me stumped

so uh... what is it?

Okay, so I can't keep a secret.
Flyboy "Plane-In-Tree" Fx gets the cookie, because he came closest with his guess (send me an address and the cookie is on its way).

Here's what I got so far:

What you see here is a rough build of the lower portion of a Mad Cat MkII from the Battletech/Mechwarrior universe. The parts in the background will eventually be the gauss rifles that make up the mech's arms. Without geeking out too much, the MkII was loosely based on the original Mad Cat/Timberwolf mech, was built by the Clans, and was sold to whoever could pay---sometime after the Clans gave up on their dreams of conquest of the Inner Sphere worlds and became mercenaries for their former enemies.
A ninety ton assault-class omnimech, the MkII was introduced in the Mechwarrior 4 PC game. And I've always really liked it.

I'll post more progress pics later. So far I've been using styrene and ABS plastic. Hip joints have two-axis articulation, and so do the ankle joints. Knee is also articulated.

I've still got a very long way to go...
