Thanks Robn1, have you used this tool and does it give a sharp cut?

That just might be the tool to get for the waistband.

No I've never used it, but it's all I know of that can reach into tight places other than side cutters.

Thanks again everyone for the kind words.

Here's some of the latest images that I have of the build. For the past couple weeks I've been working on the fiber optics and a lot of the wiring for the lighting.

Wow Scratchy! Looking awesome as allways!

I have followed this from start and I gotta say this is the best SD build Ive seen.

Fantastic work!

Just an FYI - if you don't use the flash while taking pictures, use the timer on your camera. You'll get much cleaner photos.

:D

Thanks guys!

All my WIP images are being taken with an iPhone camera. Once this build is complete, I plan on investing some money on a real one.

Nazgul, when I get to the engines and making the molds, I'll be pouring the AT-ST legs/engine as well. I'll get those three little guys done too.

Awesome. Make a thread about them too (if I you havent allready). I love those little chicken guys.

Thanks Nazgul, as soon as I start pouring the molds, I'll start a new AT-ST thread.

here's some of the latest pics of the build. No detail shots, mostly structure. I glued some .060 styrene in the engine area...

I cut the back end of the top of the hull and made it a permanent fixture

I'll have the top hull piece held down with screws, which will be hidden under the structures(which will be removable) and I'll utilize some earth magnets along the edge.
