As promised, progress. Trying to pose this thing is a pita. Attaching the bottom to the hull and the front and back parts at the same time so it all aligned was a new experience. Chamfer the edges for front and back parts helped a lot. Paper towel and rag to keep it from falling over. Lol...

I'm using super glue and also the gorilla glue that merlin models recommended.

Magnets have finally arrived. Progress can resume. Until then... My new display cabinet arrived. I put in my current built kits. Eventually I will have an at at, another ywing, medical frigate and more.

I can't wait to see more!

I did nearly as much as I could to make it so everything was not or will not be fully glued (Magnets and screws). Yes, some parts had to be glued.

I was in build mode. A lot was accomplished. Waiting on some magnets to arrive for a few assembly ideas.

Lower leg assembly started.

This picture shows the 'nuts' glued into place. Waiting for the epoxy to cure.

3mm x 1mm magnets added to hydronics. Then parts added. Hopeful the magnets will help keep the ball part attached to the foot once magnets are installed in the feet. A bit of putty and cleanup needed.

And... here... we... GO!!! Studio scale AT-AT has begun. This is a beautiful kit and lucky to get one. The casting quality is amazing. I wanted to start sooner but the Dungeons and Dragons campaign I just recently started took a lot of prep work. Partly and mostly why I have been away from...

Sorry everyone for vanishing. Where did I go? I was preparing a Dungeons and Dragons campaign (Curse of Strahd). We just started playing it a few weeks ago. I'm still here with the intent on resuming and finishing this ywing build. In addition... working on and finishing a few other builds...

Here are the guns...

I do. I'll try to get pics up after work tonight.

Yes, those parts. However. They are not as accurate as the ones I helped with. Mostly the guns (the 6 in the middle) are unfortunately way off proportionately and shapes used to make the 3d part.

The missing greeblies from Deago falcon were done this way (unfortunately not available any more). I took photos from all sides with 5mm grid paper. This allowed the 3d modeler to get the parts very accurate in size and detail. I look forward to seeing more.
