good ole Dak, One small step for AT-AT, one large footprint for man
I remember John Morton also talking about playing the AT-AT driver that shot Luke's snow speeder and killed Dak, and hence... killed himself
As to the number of full sized snow speeders made for TESB, if you watch the hangar footage below, from 1:29 until take-off, I think there are 4, possibly 5 speeders:
1) As Luke runs screen left to right in the continuous shot, we see #1 in the back left
2) ...continuous tracking shot as Luke runs BEHIND a foreground speeder (or at least, its cockpit) #2
3) As Luke reaches screen right, he climbs into the foreground (his) speeder #3 (Dak is already in the gunner's seat), and other pilots are boarding the speeder BEHIND Luke #4
4) Quick cut/close up with with Dak's lines "Feeling alright, sir?" and "Right now I feel like I can take on the whole Empire myself!", we see two speeders behind Luke; so #4 seen in the previous shot, and an additional 5th speeder even further back.

Sound about right. The fifth could be a painted cut out as these were mentioned in Alan Tomkins book, Stars and Wars.

Greeblie time! Not much weathering to do here. Just straight Tamiya colours from the rattle can.
I also found some nice braided plumbing pipe for the pressure valves (gold parts).----> actually i just looked at the prop again. Looks like the pipe is actually that clear hose used on the Vader belt box. The braided pipe need to go on another part.
Going to be a fun weekend.

As I've said before this is spectacular and absolutely love seeing this come along.
Just a couple questions though...
Will the grappling gun be functional? and then the real obstacle... how are you going to make the full size AT-AT walker to compliment this?
Standing with the Foot propped up ready to crush the speeder or with the cable wrapped around it and Collapsed on the ground?

I think the working grapple is definitely step one. Or as Kenobi says, "You've just taken your first steps into a larger....." project.As I've said before this is spectacular and absolutely love seeing this come along.

And test runs on passing traffic would be very exciting. I don't think this point is even debateable. Very exciting, indeed.
Every update this is more awesome. It's looking great.
A few years back i became obsessed with a greeblie used here, and I still haven't found what is the real part. However in the Brandon Alinger book there is a great reference that i used for the model I made.
This is from the book
If i can make a suggestion, you can swap the plastic thing you have under the greeblie ( blue arrow) for the terminal connector that is commonly used with that greeblie on the belts of navy troopers.
You can download it and print it in resin so it looks a bit more accurate. Link: Imperial Compad Keypad by gucabe on Shapeways
Sorry for intruding but Its such an amazing work that i couldn't resist.
