can you identify...

chjoe · 05-16-2011, 05:00 PM

can anyone help me identify the manufacturer and scale of this kit.....I'm a new member and .last week I stopped by a roadside yard sale...in a plain brown ,large cardboard box ( no markings ) was a COMPLETE. UNASSEMBLED, RESIN, STAR WARS AT-AT.. THIS BEAST WAS HUGE..IT STANDS APPROX 19 -20 INCHES TALL AND 24-25 INCHES LONG...I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IT IS NOT THE WONG/SMT KIT..THE HEAD IS HOLLOW BUT THERE IS NO COCKPIT INTERIOR ( SEATS + PILOTS ) THE RESIN IS A LIGHT TAN OR CREAM COLOR AND THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS..THE LADY RUNNING THE SALE SAID IT BELONGED TO HER LATE FATHER..I ASKED HER WHAT SHE WANTED FOR IT SHE ANSWERED $25.00 ( YES...$25.00!!! ) I PLUNKED DOWN THE CASH AND ALMOST CRASHED MY CAR TRYING TO GET AWAY BEFORE SHE COULD SAY THAT SHE MADE A MISTAKE..LOL... SO IF ANYONE KNOWS WHO MADE THE KIT AND PERHAPS HAS A COPY OF THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE HEARING FROM YOU...thanks...

tgreco · 05-16-2011, 05:09 PM

posting a pic would help

JPolacchi · 05-16-2011, 05:33 PM

Pics would be good,and unless it is a recast...there could only be say...three or so answers to your question.It could be:

SMT
SMT/Blue Moon re-release
I forget the name of the other build,its BIGGER than the SMT kit
Or someone else's scrtach build
or...
I've no clue

tk1608 · 05-16-2011, 06:02 PM

Could be the ATATRon...is it like this..?

As far as I can remember it didn't ever have instructions..mine didn't anyhoo..
If this is the one, and you got it for $25, then you're very lucky..

Phil

JPolacchi · 05-16-2011, 07:17 PM

Isn't that like a $500 kit?I wanted to get one of those,but I'll be satisfied with my SMT At-At.

chjoe · 05-16-2011, 07:49 PM

hi phil, that sure looks like it...what scale would you think it may be ? thanks...pete

chjoe · 05-16-2011, 08:05 PM

hi jpolacchi, thank you for your reply..is your smt at-at complete and unassembled..I ask because I am trying to collect all the smt 1/48 star wars vehicles, and I may be willing to trade it straight up for the smt at-at.. let me know..I'll take some pics of it to post.. if you have some pics, please post as well..I'll show you mine if you show me yours...LOL...thanks....Pete

chjoe · 05-16-2011, 09:26 PM

here is the 1st image .. 1 more to follow..

chjoe · 05-16-2011, 09:30 PM

I can't get the images to load ..if anyone wants to email me I'll be able to send the images to their email..I have some computer learning to do on how to load images on this site...pete

jedimaster · 05-17-2011, 12:09 AM

I got a disk with my AT- AT Ron. I could send you a copy if you like.

tk1608 · 05-17-2011, 04:20 AM

Hey Pete, I reckon it's about 1/48th scale. That's only my opinon though, if you were to place a 1/48th scale figure in the neck tube, it could stand up straight in there. Also the fine molds snowspeeder looks about right if the ATAT trod on it...

I think the SMT is a smaller scale, even though it's listed as 1/48th..

Cheers

Phil

jcuri1 · 05-17-2011, 06:42 AM

Some time ago somebody broke down an MR AT AT and recasted it..

chjoe · 05-17-2011, 10:21 AM

hi jedimaster, on closer examination, buried under one of the inner box flaps and packing peanuts was a cd....so, I guess this is the AT-ATRON....my thanks to all who replied to my queries..as a new member, I will say there is excellent fellowship on this site....Pete

crackerjazz · 05-17-2011, 05:47 PM

Uploading photos on behalf of Pete....

tk1608 · 05-17-2011, 06:14 PM

Hmmm, I'm not sure that's the ATAT ron now I've seen those pics, looks to be too many parts. Mine never had those seperate underfoot pad parts for a start...

Could be that jcuri1 is right, might be a recast MR....naughty people...still good for $25 though..

Phil

chjoe · 05-17-2011, 06:23 PM

hi phil, could you fill me in on MR.. I sure would like to know what I have on my hands here...thanks...pete........ also,thank you crackerjazz for loading the photos..

jedimaster · 05-17-2011, 06:48 PM

I agree it doesn't look like my atatron either. Frank (brundlefly) may be able to confirm if this is a MR recast.

tk1608 · 05-17-2011, 07:01 PM

MR is Master Replicas, they did an awesome replica of the ATAT, very expensive. I can't remember the exact price, I'm sure someone here could tell you though..

Phil

JPolacchi · 05-17-2011, 07:14 PM

Yes, my SMT At-At is complete,but its the only SMT kit (next to the 1/6 scale SMT probe droid) I'm keeping.I've no intention to see it,only build it.Both were really expensive kits, the Probe Droid more so and next to impossible to find.

chjoe · 05-17-2011, 10:05 PM

hi jpolacchi, I understand..I have and built the following smt kits..a-wing, b-wing, x-wing, y-wing, snowspeeder, tie bomber, tie avenger, tie obliterator, cloakshape fighter,..I'm still looking for the at-at, millenium falcon, r-41 starchaser, and the tie droid fighter.. any info on locating any of these would be appreciated...thank you for your input...pete

dragnink · 05-18-2011, 01:03 AM

It's actually a modified MR that was cast to try and make it look like an original work, then sold on eBay. The guy I talked to wouldn't admit to the recasting (saying they were from Thailand) but the pics he sent me are modified MR all the way and look identical to the kit in these pics...

chjoe · 05-18-2011, 01:14 AM

hi phil,
saw a MR at-at listed on the internet for $5,000.00..it was assembled, painted w/ the display case..guess I'll just have to be content to build and paint mine and display it in an old aquarium for $25.00 even if it is a recast...c'est la vie... :-)

chjoe · 05-18-2011, 01:31 AM

hi dragnink, thanks for the info.. well, for 25 bucks I don't feel too ripped off.. hopefully it will still build into something half decent...still looking for the SMT AT-AT....many thanks to all who helped identify it..with folks like you all, RPF will be an informative and fun site for me..pete

Bigturc · 05-18-2011, 11:13 AM

Hey there,

Unfortunately, that's mine!!! My father died and my mother mixed up the boxes and put it in the sale .. I was gonna build this eventually.

Can you send it back to me, I'll send you my addy and gladly refund you the 25$ + shipping!
