el loco's AT-ST, Return of the Jedi (finished !!!)

[el loco]

-Studio Scale AT-ST
-Return of the Jedi go-motion model
-Nice-N Kit with the larger-legs-set

The Parts :

yes, this time, this model will be a fast build up, straight "out of the box" ...not much sanding, no filling, no deformed parts ....



FORGET IT !

Front area of the head, the material have to be thinner :

This area of the front is asymmetrical :

I fix a MDF block in the head for the "mounting point" :

The back of the head, watch those gaps. If you don't fill gaps like this a whole Ewok family will come in and steal the walker :lol

Better ! No chance for Ewoks :

thanks
Andre

Very nice work El Loco :thumbsup

I have one of these kits as well and have made a tentative start while i split my time with other projects so I'll be following your build!

I'm gathering socket cap screws to replace the cast-in ones on my kit's legs at moment and am looking at making my walker's resin legs poseable.

Great job Andre, I think you should replace the kind of c-channel details by actual kits parts (on the back of the head) (SdKfz 232) and also the small T-hose connectors by the Gepard parts.
