Many thanks for you support guys !
Well some new pics...
First Matt mentioned the coiling gizmo... While it's cheap, I thought it would be easy to build by myself... 5 min later I had mine Not as nice as the true coiling gizmo, but it works perfectly
That's 100 times better than guitar or bass strings ! They bend naturally I love the shape they take !
I like the result and I plan to build a bigger coiling gizmo to do the hoses of the Sebulba's pod. Those I did for the AT-ST dont have any wire core, but if I put one through the coiled wire for the Pod, I could get the pod standing by itself, no more mounting point for it ! Only in the engines Good news since I was a bit worried about using brass strings
I rebuilt a stand, still not accurate (the base should be wider and the stand on which the body goes should be thicker) but I built it with the wood I had... And since it was sunday, all shops were closed It's not too bad though and I rally like the whole wooden look
I also glue a 80's ILM sticker like on the real base. I know that's the base of the Asian AT-ST but before it was the Euro base, at least the Euro model was on this stand in the archives (and the sticker was already here). The asian was at this time, on a full plexi stand. This one look cool too, I could get one laser cut... I prefer it to the aluminum black one they used to display the Euro model in Europe the pasts 5 years. Very classy but I prefer the stock look of the wooden one If the stand costs more and is more beautiful than the model itself, that sucks !
I redid some quick touch up to the head paint.
I hope you like guys

Better than the originals, Julien. Those hoses really add to the look of the thing, and that finish is ILM-worthy.

Many thanks for all your kind comments guys !
It's not so perfect (I tried to replicate the ILM flaws) and I know where I'm wrong with her but I'm happy and she's better than I was expected when I started this project one year ago !
Still along way before completion though.
Hopefuly Ill be able to do some stop motion shots.

once you get tired of this beauty you should give a try to Christie's or Sotheby's... they will never realize the difference and you will make a lot of money :lol :lol

Thanks guys !
Lol Tavor I will keep it in my collection as long as I'm alive She's my fav, if I had to keep only one model it would be her !
Thanks for the stand, I really the wooden ILM's stand. Those models are not a piece of art but just models to work with after all !
As For the Sebulba's pod, as I said my wish is to get the pod standing by the hoses but I cant be 100% positive right now, if it's too heavy, we'll have to use a third rod to support it...
