I should pay closer attention. Yes, you are correct.

The clip I was commenting on was from the fan-made "Revisited" version where the rear Walkers more animated that the original theatrical version.

Interesting stuff! So it has been decided to make a 1/4 scale walker and with that in mind I have printed out my model to test the possible problems of undertaking such a prop. The biggest issue will be top heavy-ness, so I am thinking steel armature thru at least 3 of the legs, with probably plywood bodyshells on top, sitting on a flat steel box. We shall see

So this is all the foot and leg components assembled...the knees and hips are posable so I will choose an iconic shot and copy that

The Motordrive and Bodyshell sections will be a mix of plywood and printing with possibly a motorised neck movement

And the head probably all printed with hopefully moving chin guns

I will print the other legs and remaining motordrive and head parts to have a 'working' maquette, to figure out the best pose for display before starting on the big version

What scale is this model that you printed here and is it in resin?

JediMichael · Nov 16, 2023

So 1/4 scale of what google says is 74 feet tall full size.
My terrible at math self just cannot figure that out, even trying a scale calculator, couldn't figure out how to use it.
My guess is like 10 to 12 feet tall, but maybe taller. Hopefully someone can put the actual number here.
Either way, sound incredibly awesome and I cannot wait to see how it turns out.

1/4 scale of 74 feet is 18.5 feet.

It is studio scale 1/24 and not resin...printed in PLA on my Bambu lab Carbon.

Not sure where 74 feet comes in, I think around 12 metres is full size but either way it will be scaled up x 6 giving me a 1/4 scale according to the 1/24 scaling, which should be about 12 feet high...which is just as well as the ceiling where it is to be displayed is no higher

Everywhere online says 22.5 meters, or 74 feet.
Either way, being a fictional vehicle anyways, 12 feet will still be quite massive and I know we all can't wait to see it come together.

Wow that is a clean print It doesn't even look like it's FDM!

Where will you stop mate? At 12 meters that's not a model anymore; it's a real transport

GEEK1138 · Nov 18, 2023

Ok, so not 12 meters dude...even I am not that crazy.
And it seems that the studio model is not 1/24 but more like 1/48; if the 1:1 is 22.5 meters, which makes my build around 1/8 scale...still gonna feel pretty big I reckon

GEEK1138 · Nov 20, 2023

Got the rest of the parts printed for the maquette...just some assembly required and then to strike a classic pose

Head guns on;

Neck...this is printed in flexible TPU to allow some head movement;

The Harrier motordrive parts;

And the rest of the legs;

joberg · Nov 21, 2023

Lovely work mate, lovely

GEEK1138 · Nov 21, 2023

Ok, AT-AT assembled...this pose will do for now...at least 2 feet flat on the ground gives me enough stability to work with

joberg · Nov 21, 2023

F.A.B.

StevenBills · Nov 21, 2023

I can't seem to click on the images to make them larger! I need to see them biiiiiig!

Anyone else having that issue?

yes,

pics are too small.

corranhornjje · Nov 22, 2023

Need banana for scale!

GEEK1138 · Nov 28, 2023

So here is the first foot at 1/8th scale...seems big enough. As u can see the concession is to have the steel pole run thru the foot to handle the weight of the top structure. The steel will be welded to a plate underneath the foot, which will be bolted to the ground in situ;
