AT-ST 3D MODEL

[GEEK1138]

Hey guys, well this was always gonna be on my to-do list and as the nasty little brother of the big walker, I just had to model it. Hopefully with a view to having a BIG diorama! I am waiting on some details to finish the AT-AT so I dived into this one, and once again, donned the detective garb to search out the elusive kit parts. As with the Walker I have had huge help from the kitbash gods so this should be spot on in terms of accuracy, Also big thanks to Ogibendogy for his part map work

Got the head done...render time;

and a little polygroup action

The Chin gun assembly is a total bun fight but I think it's all there;

Here he goes again ! Dude seriously you must be a vampire, never sleeping, ; ) Always a great thread to follow.

Is this going to be tesb or rotj version?

 

[Ogibendogy]

GEEK1138 - do you ever sleep???

 

[Big C]

Looks awesome!!!

 

[GEEK1138]

Sleeping is for wimps! It will be the ESB version. I know that only one side of the original filming prop was finished, mainly on the head, but we have to assume there would be a rough symmetry to the thing , so I will mirror the parts across. Particularly as there were chiral kit parts used for this detailing

Another great project mate I shudder at your phrase "Big Diorama" That'll be a sight to see!!!

I think I got it figured out.....while sitting at the computer doing the modeling, you are actually charging via a USB port, then, once fully charged, you go out and actually build these monster sized creations in a round cycle that never ends so this stuff is being pumped out so fast.

My secret is out! So, I got all the armature modelled and assembled...I want so that u could print it and affix the greeblies to it or even have the armature CNC'd in Aluminium and then finish it.
It should also make it poseable and then possibly even...animatronic

 

[Big C]

Oh no. Now I'm tempted to start another project! Great work as always.

 

[GEEK1138]

Just a quickie...getting the armature populated with all the 'easily' identified greeblies first. There's a few more to go before I get into the nitty gritty.

Hips;

Fantastic renderings

OK...getting close to finishing the modelling on this puppy...still got the Tyrell 6 wheeler tyre to do for the neck rubber and a coupla elusive bits to ID but it's pretty much there. As with the AT-AT I've recently finished, I will print this on my Prusa XL just to check everything fits and is scaled correctly...
It should be possible to make it poseable with a few tweaks, which, I think, is essential for this little character

F.A.B.

And just a few more pretty renders...this time, all the kit parts, without the armature or vac-formed shells;

 

[GEEK1138]

OK this model is complete. I have uploaded the files to my Etsy shop for those waiting to try this out but I won't be printing it just yet and probably only at 1/6 when I do. There are 2 ways to do it I reckon...print it as a fixed model in large assemblies or print the armature and kit parts separately and stick them on like they did on the original. The Tyrell, inverted neck tyre could be printed in flexible filament if u want to make it poseable. IMPERIALPRINTHUB - Etsy UK
Final batch of renders, this may be the diorama shot to do from ESB;

You really don't sleep do you. Great work man!

Your work is amazing and inspirational! You are easily 10x faster than I would be making those 3D models!
