An inflatable mecha wolf design inspired by a series of giant robot animals from Japan. Available in sizes down to 3m long. The canopy is a glossy vinyl applique detail.

Modelers notes

This design heavily leans on Polys prior work for Kerr, whose model was reused for this Scout Wolf. However, some important changes here are the thickness of the paws and the general topology of the model. A lot has been learned about the way factories model and project artwork onto patterns. However, due to the immense labour associated with this approach (and actually unsatisfactory result during design work), it is the last time this approach is applied.

During this project, conversion limitations by the vector software in use were discovered, but sadly after initial production. This has been updated in the meantime with a silent update.
