Well I guess I'm officially a studio scale builder now because I've started buying kits and working on a prototype for my next project while in the middle of my current one. This would've been a self imposed cardinal sin back in my days of building scale armor models. "Thou shalt not start a new kit before finishing another."
So as the title of this thread so obviously says I'll be building the Empire Strikes Back version of the AT-ST, aka the "Chicken Walker". I've always loved this version ever since I saw it in the movie as a kid and the audience let out a collective "WTF was that?!!!". Plus, I'm a legs guy so there ya go.
I'll be using the amazing schematics Moffeaton & Co. made awhile ago. I'm still sourcing the armature but in no hurry since with the exception to the Porsche 935 it's the most expensive part of the build.
I made a prototype of the head last week just to scratch the itch and to get a feel for the scale. I plan on building the subassemblies that I feel can be made without having the armature for reference.
More kits will be arriving in the coming weeks and I'll be shortening the list as they arrive.
