Hello guys,
I finally thought it was time to work on this one. It took me some times, probably the lack of motivation to find the money (and the fact I dont like the design of the TESB AT-ST) to buy the first run of armature, Ive just collected some of the kits needed for her for the last 2 years (unfortunatly I used most of the parts on other projects, so I have to buy new ones ! :lol).
Ive started by the head for several reasons :
- this way I can delay the time when Ill have to clean up the armature :lol
- this is about my 6th AT-ST heads (tesb, roth gomo and pyro) so I know I can build one fast !
- that's the only thing to scratch in this model, and the most time consuming thing to do (besides the paintjob and hunting/collecting the kits)
- I have most of the parts for the head, which is not the case for the chassis and legs.
I would like to thank Jason for the ref pics of the original prop which was the beginning of all that ! Lee for his incredible finds, as well as Allan also for his stunning finds and for the first armature drawings. Then Quincy, for the efforts he put on this V2 armature. He spent so much times and the results are here. Besides some minor flaws (which will be corrected) on some armature, this one is way better in many way. The only bad thing will be to clean up all the edges of the parts !
Well now, some pics of the head I built today, mounted on the armature. I took the pics of my ROTJ gomo AT-ST to get an idea of the size of each one, and to see how different the proportions are ! They are so close and so far in the same time ! Anyway it will be a cool thing to have both of them in display together :
In a side note, I will not put the care I use to put on this model, so Im sorry in advance if she doesnt look perfect to you and maybe a bit crude...
I will replicate the prop, I mean only on hero side.
Thanks for looking
