REF PICS OF THE AT-AT

[eFXBarry]

Steve,

Disagree with me all you want, that's fine. You are building the Walker the way you see it.

I didn't do an overlay in photoshop, I had the actual model to go by and the ATATron is too wide along its whole length.

As for the Leopard grills, parts A25, and A26 they're still not cut down enough. The front grill from the M16 Motor Carriage overlaps the second verticle set of grills (from the outside edge) at their mid point and since the M16 is a wholly unaltered part that means the Leopard grills have to be cut down to fit.

There are pictures of the MR prototype on Rebelscum.com that clearly show the orientation in the rear tub.

Only trying to help.

I can tell you that the rear engine area where the butt tub is located, is too wide at the top and at the bottom.

They would never fit in the studio miniature if used as you have them.

Steves grills are cut just like the miniature and fit fine.

The top width is just fine, as Steve mentioned the grills are cut eactly as the SS miniture, so the width top is pretty much dead on.

My grills are cut and in the same place as ILM did to place them and it looks identical.

Definatly the lengthen is off.

I looks at all the work that you guys have been putting on the ATATRON and it still astounds me that Ronny built this thing, 10 years ago, before all the Star wars reference books came out.

All he had to go with was disecting the movie on PAUSE, the art of ESB, and a blown up cross section from a magasine.

He had a lot of curage to make every single peice FROM SCRATCH !!!!!

I second that! It is a great kit! With a little work... ok.. maybe more than a little it will turn out to be a fantastic example of the AT-AT. Out of the box its better than anything else out there, thanks Ronny!

Just a quick hello. You guys have too much fun with this AT-AT building...having a scale AT-AT would be a dream...wish I had the time but I don't even have anywhere near the dedication.

I've read this entire thread...amazing the work that goes into one of these puppies. What I was going to ask is...it seems that people are building articulated AT-ATs...I think it would be terrific if someone tried some stop-motion animation work with their 20" model...with digital cameras and CGI backgrounds it would be great

How's everyones progress coming along?? Has anyone actually finished one of these?

I'm nearing the home strech on mine....
I just gotta finish the legs, feet, and neck then it is done.

This has been one fun and long project....

[STEVE THE SWEDE]

Oh, far from done. Then again, you know what a slow builder I am.

Steve.

 

[STEVE THE SWEDE]

I could really use some help here! Can anybody ID the gun rail parts!? I've been searching high and low without any luck.

I know this is the MR kit but I asume they have used the correct parts.

Please help a fellow builder out!

Steve.

Steve:

Where did the detail shots of the MR AT-AT come from? Where they posted somewhere, or are they being privately circulated?

No, It was posted on web. Can't remember where though.
Anybody have any info about the parts?

Steve.

 

[Treadwell]

They were somebody's pics from Toyfair.

Thanks! I remember seeing that page during Toyfair, but forgot there were shots of the undercarriage....

Hi Steve,

You might consider pm'ing board member Saberlicious - didn't he work on the MR version?

[Reel Fakes]

Nice job so far fellas

 

[STEVE THE SWEDE]

OK, I know this thread will probably lose a lot of interest now when MR is getting ready to release their walker but I'm still continuing my walker and I know Lynn is going strong too!

Anyway, it's been ages since I showed any progress so here's some! The hull is now completly finsihed and primed. As you can see all panels have been changed and every singel detail have been replaced with kit bashed parts (hopfully most of them are from the correct kits).
What do you think!

Now I'm off pre-shading this beast!

Steve.

 

[Aegis159]

Looks great Steve!! I don't think that this thread will die, as there's quite a few of us here that are planning ( I hope) to finish the ATATRon... and it's been a great source of inspiration and reference for myself as well as others I'm sure!

 

[masterjedi322]

Looking great, Steve!

As someone who's just venturing into studio-scale modeling, I would really love to see and hear about your pre-shading and other painting techniques.

 

[Lynn TXP 0369]

Looking good bud!!

I hope to have some pics of my progress over the weekend.

Lynn

 

[tk1608]

I can't wait to get my hands on this kit!
