WOTC Miniature [2005]
The Official Site reported [28 July 2005] the forthcoming release of an AT-AT walker in the 34mm miniatures series by Wizards of the Coast. Miniatures in the 34mm have a scale of approximately 1:47.4 (estimated by interpolating the scales of other miniature standards, tabulated on web pages). The true height of an AT-AT walker (in the movies) is approximately 22.5m, which would imply a miniature 18.7" tall. The erroneous height of 15m, published in old roleplaying sources (primarily West End Games') would imply a miniature 12.5" high. The reported height of Wizards' AT-AT toy is 16". This is too small (unless the walker is crouching) but is an improvement on the old WEG figure.

Well so far on my WOTC, Ive decided the head underside need replacing and scratchbuilding including the cannons, the main body front panel needs recessing and the tail end needs attention, after that the flash mould on the feet needs trimming, and maybe enlarging the feet with styrene strip and milliput, then do the toes and toe cutouts properly. Then maybe do a fair amount of kit bashing and accurizing to the underside, a lot of work but maybe very worthwhile, or do i wing it and crash this puppy and do some serious damage ala ATATron? wat do you guys think
