I bought this Hasbro AT-ST toy with the plan to just give it a nice paint job, but i ended up doing a lot more to it.
Here is a link to photos of the standard toy: http://www.rebelscum.com/TLCvehATST.asp
First job was to choose a pose for it. The legs on the toy move using hexagon shaped pegs in hexagon shaped holes. I found the range of movement was too long between stages, so it would go from a position i didn't want, to another position i didn't want. So using a file, i made the hexagon shaped pegs in octagon shaped pegs. I then used ca glue and arladite apoxe glue to hold the legs nice and strong in the position i wanted the model to stand in.
The legs can still move outwards, but there is no up and down movement.
I then scratch built a new main gun, but one mod ended up leading to another and what was intended to be a very short break from my ED-209 model turned into a long one.
Here are some photos of it almost ready for the tamiya fine surface primer:
