Someone asked about the comparative size of various Weird War 2 mech, so here is a Galahad powered suit, a Guardian, M100 and an M5A6 Jackal.
Random modelling pictures and comments from someone who has more interests than time...

Westwind Stug Mech part two
So, as I mentioned the Westwind Stugmech had the feet attached to a base. I cut them off with a razor saw. I drilled through the hole in the foot to take the locating pin.
To attach the hip joint, I drilled through the ball joint out through the outer part of the leg. As you can see I have pushed a brass rod through to demonstrate. I then removed the rod and placed the hip joint against the pelvis sockets. I then drilled through from the outside. This was then used to pin the hip joint. The foot was then placed in position on the ankle ball joint and again drilled through from the underside, pinned and glued,
Once one leg was in place, the other leg was pinned at the hip and the foot attached to match.
The Stugmech with William Killian for scale.

West Wind M100 Comanche Walker
So, I have dug a West Wind SOTR M100 Comanche Infantry Walker out of storage and I m in the process of putting some decals on it.
The M100 is a light one man walker and my assumption is that they are available to British forces in any Weird War list. This example is armed with a gatling gun, a bazooka (rotary mag) and an assault rifle (slightly over powered if you ask me). I would class it as having a twin HMG, a bazooka and an assault rifle. Single crew so only one weapon at a time. The assault rifle is probably used to scratch colleagues' backs.
Now, the question is, where do you put the decals?
I am putting recognition marks on the shoulder (left side) or the gun mount (right side).
It is where to put the tactical sign and perhaps a division insignia?
The following have been put together electronically (the tactical sign is from the Warlord Games Guards Armoured Division decal set).
First, on the plastron (chest plate).
Next on the upper "thigh" (I did wonder about the knee cap, but it is rather small on these walkers).
Thirdly on the gun shield.
