AT-ST Studio Scale inspired by JOE JOHNSTON Sketchs

[roback]

Hey, guys
From some time now, I've had this idea of making a STUDIO SCALE AT-ST ESB; one day, browsing thru some magazines I came across a drawing of a AT-ST by Joe Jhonston, which showed a very general idea of the model we all know, but with a lot of differences.
I took some measurements of the Studio Scale and got some inspiration from the Joe Johnston drawing and I'm building an AT-ST model, which I've dubbed "Heavy Arms". I've kept its main frame, but i've modified several parts, adding new pieces from various vintage kits (70's and 80's).
As time allows, I'll be working on the legs, but not too soon because Rodmart and I are working overtime to finish all the models we've been working on.
I really hope you like this models and I'll be expecting your comments and opinions!

Looks brilliant so far!

I'm sure I could find it, but could you show us the sketch your using as reference?

I love it with these concept models when 'the correct' donor kits are looked at for supplying the greeblies.

Wow looks pretty cool Rod! Reminds me of the AT-ST from IMPS Chapter 1. thumbsup

I love the look of this. Seems to look a little meaner or a bit more aggressive. Nice job.

Beautuful!

Very cool!
I really dig the AT-AT rough scribing lines!

I had an idea to build an IMPS chicken walker some day. Like someone said, it looks a lot like this one. When I was a kid I read the SW comics and in one episode it had an AT-ST looking close to this.

As with your X-wing .....your work and that black plastic/primer make this look so professional. Much like an actual production prototype. Or maybe an old Horizon resin kit. Very cool idea baseing it off of JJ's sketches!

The viewport looks stunning on this head profile, what leg design are you pondering?
I love the Mak kinda look from the TESB sketchbook, really suits the model.
