[Guy Cowen]

I dont think so, my kit was built but not complete, are they the torpedo tops? If so I'm drawing a blank

 

[ralphee]

Yeah, torpedo heads mate, not sure if i have spare, cant recall it though bud, ill pull my kit, cant even recall how many you get lol.

[joewhite]

4 per kit. I would give you my other two but I'll be using them as well. I'm going for two chickens. If I can ever get off my ass, though, I'll make you some copies.

Joe

 

[Guy Cowen]

Great news, just found em in a bag of scrap :facepalm

 

[joewhite]

I have found many parts that way! Hehe! That'll teach me to buy started kits!

Joe

 

[Rats]

Errrm, are those Perkasa scans showing the inside thigh part with the holes?? :confused
Or is the scale off?

My theory differs from the popular take. If you look closely, the nipple itself is a hex head that matches nicely the hex head at the tip of the JPS bracket? that is coming from under the foot shroud. I should add that that hex head nipple's location lines up nicely with the bracket too.

I think they placed that bracket right onto (and slightly in) the below JPS piece. The dome? - hot or thick glue that found it's equilibrium drying viscosity as the "dome" you see.

That's how I've pieced mine together. I'll try to sculpt some apoxie later to make the dome.

 

[joewhite]

Awwwww yeeeeeaaahhhhh......I'm now seeing what you mean, Quincy. And now that I've been staring at the ref....the other foot doesn't appear to have the "dome" present. However, I will note that the only other ref pic that I have which shows the other foot somewhat clearly (and a little better than the 3/4 view that's been out there is of the dismantled and raped AT-ST. I think I see how the bracket was placed in the hole of the other JPS part. You can clearly see the lip of the JPS part hole and no dome shape. Interesting!

I agree with you Q and that's why I did on my chicken !
