To optimize the model I suggest using the optimize tool in LithUnwrap (I like the one that comes with reality factory 0.76), it took a 500 poly elite arm from halo ce and shrunk it down to about 150 polys 
(I can't remember the exact numbers, I did that a few weeks ago).
Why not build a little remote controlled Tank? One the size of an action figure perhaps?
Those handles would be a pain to pep, definately use wooden dowels or toothpicks.
Perhaps I'll try to unfold it (although I'd have to do it in 1 sitting, I only have the unregistered pepakura designer 3, )
EDIT!!!
I unfolded the scorpion and saved it as a picture, the flaps are not numbered, but if you like a puzzle, here it is:
sorry if it a little confusing :rolleyes
It is approximately 10 inches long.

not trying to nit pick but i seem to remember being able to snipe people out of the cockpit of the tank in halo ce because it has a cage canopy instead of a full cover , other than that , its almost spot on, best tank pdo i've seen any ways , i have a registered copy of pep designer so i'll give it a go

Well, if someone would unfold the file, I have an uncle who is into building vintage cars and working with steel, and if I get somehow get life size pieces of paper for the pepakura model, I would use those as a scale to craft actual metal pieces and eventually build it up into a scorpion. I would have to make it a project for the ROFL SQUAD(my club of Video game enthusiasts) though, because it seems like it has to be a multi man job.

Methinks that in halo CE they used a targa (.tga) file to make a cage texture, then applied it. Whoever made this model (bevbor did not say the origins of it) couldn't get the targa to work, so they just made the hatches symmetrical.Humboldt_spartan said:

I will personally shake the hand of the person that makes a life sized verson of that.

A friend wanted me to help him build an RC Scorpion. We were waiting for someone to unfold the model, then we planned on using four of these (one in each"pod") to power it:
We were going to use a 4 channel radio and have a moving turret. So long as my friend ponys up the money, I see no reason we couldn't pull it off!

I was going to name it "Phillis" but "Sheila" does sound better.bevbor said:No one want to name his tank "Sheila"?
As for a life sized model, unless you know how you could make it run on a gas engine or electric, you might have to 'flintstone' drive it
