The Tripod Walker

The Tripod walker Boris uses to cause havoc, was inspired by the aliens from War of the Worlds in their gigantic tripods.



A towering machine both intimidating and awesome for the skunk to drive.
I wanted to try and get a similar scale and feel to the one we use in the film.








The final design for the Tripod by Gordon Henry.
Its Legs are gas chambers the skunk can use to capture and intoxicate innocent creatures. It also has 2 large exhaust vents on the back from where it blasts even more toxic gas to incapacitate everything. Its legs are controlled by pistons and hydraulics connected to gears on its knees for a very mechanical motion.
