Inspired by starks Revell AT-AT WIP upgrade thread seen here Revell At-At WIP this build thread is a spin off to dive further into dissecting the stop motion articulation of the studio models and attempting to replicate what is seen on screen. The premise of this thread is be an open build for all to share and benefit from. Templates and files are welcomed to be shared and modified and shared again for all to use. Insights and examples from other threads and previous work is welcome here including what has already been shared on Starks thread that generated the idea for this one in the first place. The end goal of this adventure will be a 24"-25" tall AT-AT that looks like what is seen on screen and is fully capable of being stop motion animated with movements that replicate what was seen on film. Thoughts of motorizing the result of this project have been considered so there may be a chapter two with this. With various ways of constructing the moving parts and different methods of making them work this is not intended to be a Studio Scale replica with actual donor kits parts or constructed in an identical manner. However, identification of donor kit parts and eventual mapping of them to an AT-AT model is a welcome subplot in this adventure. Wouldn't a poster of such a mapping be really cool to produce? Scratch building, laser cut parts, metal machined parts, 3D printing, existing kit modifications, etc. are all legit construction methods to explore with here.
Let's have fun with this and see what we can do as a community. Everyone is welcome to join this adventure. And, as with many adventures, this one is likely to make one late for dinner. Who knows how long this will take?
