Yet another AT-ST Build!

[ralphee]

Hey guys.

Began work on this ROTJ a few days ago now, started out with the head, itll be an amalgamation of the 2ft and smaller go motion models, the head will mainly feature go motion detailing mind you.
Shes a tad scruffy (picking out seam lines for filling etc) at present as ive packed up for the eve lol, but you get the idea.

For one who will propably never get to do anything up to your standards, that seems to be a great start. It'll be fun to watch this baby to grow..

Quick update, got a lil' bit more done. Made the stand offs for the side panels, and scratchbuilt the small parts above the windows (cos i like em lol), wasnt sure what kit they may have come from, but hey theyll do.
Shot a thin coat of primer to check all seams after filling once more.

Lee,
You are a maniac! Great job, dude. Keep up the great work. I eagerly await updates!

 

[EchoLeader]

[ralphee]

Small update on the head, some new parts added as well as some
scratchbuilt copies due to lack of info, namely the boxes on the rear of the head and the tusk panels, sadly i had the info for these parts on the TESB props, but they differ on the ROTJ prop.

bests.....lee

Also made the brass rail, this one broke, i need to work on it a little so the leichter part is aded at the moment!

 

[ralphee]

Lil' bit more done, dry fit of the window frames and flaps with brass hinge pins.
This thing is a blast to build!

Small update, not had chance to get a lot done, but its slowly taking form.
Had to take a few artistic liberties but it sure is fun to build!

Oh man... this is cool!

So what that it may not be 'to the rivet' accurate, but it creates the RIGHT overall impression and looks fantastic. FUN FUN!

Ralphee,

That looks great, my friend! The AT-ST was my first scratchbuilt project and I remember quite well how satisfying a design it is to make. The cool part is that although it's a fairly complex machine, it doesn't take many steps to have the basic form and from there on, it's a pure joy to finish.
