Hi All
I wasn't sure if I should put this in the studio section or not, or add it to the AT-AT reference pic thread. Here goes anyway.
For those who don't know..it's a resin kit, about two feet long, slightly bigger than studio scale. I chose to modify it to hopefully make it a bit more accurate. However, Ron did a fantastic job with the kit in the first place and it can be built out of the box and still be an awesome replica.
This is more or less the starting point with new side panels added.
These are the panels cut from styrene
I added detail to the top rear panel using reference pics a friend took of his MR ATAT. In fact without his pics I wouldv'e been a bit stuck. They were great for the underside detailing and areas that you don't normally see.
Below are various, either scratch built parts, or modified resin parts.
Because the ATAT ron is bigger than studio scale, the saturn5, harrier and tamiya armoured car pieces wouldn't fit properly, so I had to add detail to match them on to the exhisting resin parts.
It sits on this chassis, I tried to follow the design in the chronicals for this area.
Finished pics ...
It took months to get to this point and I've had a few headaches, but it's been great fun to do, and I've learnt a lot. It's the biggest and most difficult kit I've done. Great to see it finshed though.
I'd just like to thank Steve the Swede, although I don't know Steve personally, it was his skills among others that inspired me to have a go at building and modifying this kit.
It just needs a snowy base and maybe a snowspeeder dragging a cable now..
Hope you like it
Thanks for looking
