Star Wars Miniatures AT-AT repaint (PIC HEAVY - before and after pics)

[SirSandalot]

Hi!
Over the past week I took a 17 years old AT-AT from the now discontinued SWMiniatures game and gave it some love.

16inches long, 13 tall.

Weird knee pits and all, but turning toys into collectibles is one of the things I enjoy the most cause the expectations are so low

So some before and after pics, hope you like it!

Aaaaand some extra cause why not

And what I call the Ralph McQuarrie shot:

Could I've gone crazier? Yes.
Is it worth it? Hell no. It's just a toy with the craziest knees and many other flaws.

Hope you liked it! It was so much fun to build... (EDIT: I meant to PAINT!) like you can literally paint it in one day as you're just adding layers of information to it.

If anyone wants me to explain the process I'll be glad to do it. It just didn't occur to me that I could've taken pictures and make a WIP thread until it was almost finished.

Nice upgrade ... those knees are actually based of the very large AT-AT seen here with George Lucas :

P.S. Another example :

Well... now I like it even more! Thanks!

Interesting. Both pics show the same model (based on the weathering), just flipped horizontally, yet one of the legs doesn't have a knee pit above the articulation on the second picture.

Very cool!

Inspiring work, just purchased one also. Might have to give it some love also. Such a nice mid sized model with the feel of a Master Replicas effort without the worry. Beautiful work!

Nice upgrade for sure.
I never upgraded mine, and at one point, it sat in storage for a bit, in FL no less, so the guns are bent a little.

But when looking at them all, less noticeable.

Wow that's an awesome collection you have there. Removing the piece from its base is a good start.

Those are excellent, so much detail in these kits. Love the snow effects, subtle.
