"The best AT-AT on the forum," I'm pretty sure its the only one :lol
Which way did you go with the piston mechanism? Video of it moving would be cool?

Made the little shields at the back and the ankle stick things with ball sockets..... I've always wanted to use the brass and Ali tube from the model shop ....
Next up are all the little details that I never got round too and finish the hip mech.....after that the really hard bit (for me anyway). ......... PAINTING .....!!!!!!!!

What? There are loads of AT-AT builds!

I am new to the RPF.

First off, incredible build. I am amazed at how much detail went into this beauty.

I came across it looking for AT-AT specs and blueprints, but I stayed and read the whole thing. Really great work sir, can't wait to see when it has the final paint job on it and you are posing it for some real nice action shots.

I only hope the 3D-model I want to do of the AT-AT can be half as nice as your actual model.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Holy Mother of At-At Walkers! This is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!
Scratch-builds always make my jaw drop... but this is too much too handle! WOW!
Can't wait to see to see the final masterpiece!! In your time of course.... in your time...

This last pic remind me of an ILM pic, fantastic job Jon ! It looks terrific !

 

[lolo080]

great work, really beautifull

Very rare you see homegrown projects of this quality, most farm it all out to a man who can, so extra kudos for that, this is nothing short of breathtaking Jon.

I say that I will get around to a build like this someday but that armature is scary to think about! I wish I had the skills and equipment! I love this build! I'm with the hundreds of other people that would buy an armature if ever offered!

Looking forward to the paint! Will you be adding snow?

ive been trying to take pictures of the underside by using a mirror, but the camera seems to want to focus on the mirrors glass
rather than the model and the results are rubbish this is the best shot so far....

does anyone know what the parts are in the other picture ?

thanks

I have a load of kits with a few bits missing (that were used in this build) that I want to be rid of ... Anybody who can pick them up from the Watford /st Albans area interested ?

A superb AT-AT! Damn it looks fantastic!! :thumbsup

I only just discovered this thread. Unbelievably fantastic build! Beautifully done! The AT-AT is pretty much my favorite thing from any of the movies, so seeing it so lovingly and perfectly recreated is amazing. Equal parts awe and envy.

Just for fun here's a reminder of how it all began... The Empire Strikes Back Featurette: How Walkers Walk with Dennis Muren - YouTube

 

[joberg]

A sharp, crisp model for sure (model-making at its best:cool)...keep up the excellent work!
