Interestingly, building the body went pretty smoothly. Probably because on most of my decisions I settled with the first thing that came to mind which usually also was the easiest thing. That being said, with the feet I already bent some of my usual rules. I decided to have the feet be on tracks, which I bought for this specific purpose. And to make mounting easier I 3D printed the wheels to guide the tracks ) which I also usually try not to do. The rest was very straight forward, cut some wood, build some structure, screw everything together.

For the body I just hoped for the best and started building the main structure from wood. I figured this would be the most stable way and afterwards everything can be made a bit more pretty

All that was left to do was to build the hull using thermoplastic. Half of it I fixed with glue, the other half I fixed with magnets so I could open the body easily
