I'm not sure if he was just joking or not?If there is another/different made At-At kit out there,I don't know who made/makes it.

 

[punkpigpen]

I'm intrigued! is there one?

 

[jedimaster]

There is another which maybe released in very few numbers..... But it's a very large model. Bigger than the Ron.

Basically, without the shroud of "secrecy" its Mike's large scale build he "may" offer as a very limited run.

I know that this has veered off course a bit from SS and the AT AT Ron, but since it's an interesting conversation piece, related to a SS subject....

While at WF Lorne Peterson did get to take a look at my big walker and did confirm what many of the #'s in the books indicate, that my walker (which is 2x SS) is a bit smaller than the big walker. By how much he did not indicate but that is was a bit smaller.

What i wanted to ask him but never got to is why they would make a walker that was a bit larger than 2x the walker they had on hand....it seems easier to do the math and just double something........missed opportunity i guess.


I have be redoing the body on my walker, the top at mid body was short by about 2mm, and the very butt end was too tall by about 8mm. Not big #'s but they did impact the angles on the body and change it's character a bit. Looking back at my notes i make a couple of simple math mistakes that made it's way into the build.....so even doing a simple 2x on the measurements i messed up!
