[EchoLeader]

First I'd like to once again thank Greg Watson of Blockhead Pictures for hosting the instructions on his server, thanks Greg!

Well, here's our little buddy in all his glory. Still need to paint and weather him up. I need to work on the building instructions first though.

Hope you like how he turned out.

With a paint job and weathering. The pics kinda wash the weathering out but it looks better in person.

Talked with Ro on this and I think were going to go for a new pose. Ro was afraid of the weight would not hold so he posed it this way. The thing is heavy. There may need to be a support rod mounted in the back if you chose a dynamic walking pose. Lets see what he comes up with.

I think its looks amazing, but the hips need to be re positioned maybe a tad to give it some stance.
This looks one hell of a cast/master Steve, may PM you later on one, gotta work my funds lol.

Re: Buildup AT-ST ROTJ

Please excuse my photoshop but I moved the legs back a bit and made a more strong stance. I think any foot off the groud pose will need a hidden rod under the raised foot.

Man that looks great.Can't wait to get mine.

Re: Buildup AT-ST ROTJ

Yep! thats how it should look. Shouldn't be difficult to add a clear rod to
underside of the raised foot.

I'm also suffering from mild waiting discomfort.:lol

Re: Buildup AT-ST ROTJ

Hey, Steve. I just got mine. Casting is great. I was thinking of redoing the front mounted guns. Any idea what the diameter of the pipe that was used? If you don't have it handy. No problem. Once again... a really great kit.

I concur on both counts.

There is some serious talent on this board.
