This year, I decided to build an AT-ST as my Halloween costume. When I first got the idea after last Halloween I found relatively few tutorials and pics online. There have been two though that have served as my template and unofficial instructions. The major one was from someone I found on a Nissan 350Z forum. The other is from someone else on the web whose name I can remember.
I am not a pro by any means so I am making this out of cardboard. Why? It is cheap and easy to find. Plus it is easy to work with. This won't be all in on details but rather a good attempt at conveying what it is supposed to be like. With only needing it for one night, Halloween, I don't have to make it last forever.
I made the cuts for the cardboard this week and have just started first stage assembly, the head.
I am going to attempt to make working legs using the 350z pics as my best guide.
To also add a few bells and whistles I bought some LEDs to wire the front cannons up and also bought a sound device where I will put several sounds onto it and play via pressing buttons assigned to each sound. To better hear the sounds, I will work in some small computer speakers into the front of the costume.
As it progresses I will post pics. As of right now it is just cardboard cutouts.
Let me know if you have any questions about the build and I will do my best to answer them.
