The model series was based on comic with the same title. It's basically a 'What if...' comic in the event of which the Nazi found alien tech and won WWII using robotic/ walker machines...Here are some of the pics on the related topic....
    Would be interested if anyone here had a go at any of the models p/s for more info, check out http://www.dustgame.com/index.php |

Ordered Dust Sourcebook which I received today (the package includes a catalog and privilege member card). Although I was very impressed with the comic downloaded via iPhone app store, I'm quite disappointed with the quality of the sourcebook due to poor colour quality and spelling error littered across it.
IMO the kit is quite expensive....1/35 walker starts from RM350 upward...and I would love to know the quality before buying something with that price tag. |

Yup...i have the Gunther (that would be the 3rd picture Pesa posted). It's the only one that's in plastic I think. The other ones are in resin. Bought it for USD 50 inclusive of shipping.
Fit of the Gunther is not too bad, with some putty work required. It builds into quite a tall model and impressive model. Mine's 70% built with absolutely no idea on when it'll be finished. Here's the official website; Dust |

Sorry bro, i've left this project for quite some time back. Busy with my 4 month old son. Anyway, there's not much to see, since it's just sub-assemblies.
Approximate height should be about 20-25cm. |
