Meatcan Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 Hahaha, I was wondering when someone would comment on jar jar. I really wanted to put in an acces hatch on the bottom but I wouldn't think it would look good. But maybe it is something to look at again. Quote
CT-22-2759 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Hi,My initial suggestion is to change primary color from black to dark gray. Not only will it be more appealing, but will also be easier on you wallet, as most of the elements you utilized are moreover available in this color than black—if you plan to build it in real life that is.Overall black is excessively too stark as compared to the reference. I have seen black AT-AT's before and aside from the design, and to be honest in my own opinion, they are not that appealing, as it is literally difficult to see beyond the extremely dark color, and actually take into account the design and techniques implemented.All things considered, I highly recommend converting the color to dark gray, as I believe it will significantly improve the appearance of the walker. However, most importantly, this is your AT-AT walker, so the decision is left for you to find what is more appealing. Black or dark gray? I play that game and really, the Elite AT-AT is all black with red front view port. Update: Then again, since the new Shadow Stormtroopers are dark gray the color change would make sense...

Okay, but as compared to its image on Star Wars wiki, it is closer to LEGO's DBG than its stark black. It may not be a perfect match to the game, since it is certainly not as light as DBG, but you can only work with the color palette LEGO has to offer. Quote

I bet the Elite AT-AT pilots use the same suits as the TIE pilots... Still a pity there are no Storm Commando minifigs yet... Edited October 30, 2015 by CT-22-2759 Quote

I wouldn't be to sure about that since the design of those two suits are not entirely parallel with each other, but whatever of two minifigures Meatcan decides to use will be fine with me either way. To my knowledge of why there is no such minifigures is because why LEGO does not focus on things that pertain to the expanded universe. Quote

A simple weapon change for an Imperial Biker Scout and he becomes a sniper... I definitely agree. The breathing hoses for an AT-AT pilot connect to the back of the helmet, not like the TIE Pilot in which the hoses connect to the round ports at the front of the helmet. But DBG versions of those figs would work for the vehicle should TLG consider doing this model. But those aside, at least there are already new figs and parts for next year... Quote

Those pilots in DBG color schemes would be interesting to see; like that of the deck officers or vehicle commander—as long as they are not bland. However, I do not expect LEGO ever releasing such a set based off of that game. If any game related that they should release it would and should be based off of Battlefront—that could bring about a new AT-AT (and hopefully an AT-ST) with the game's heavy emphasis on that vehicle. But on second thought, I think Meatcan should use the traditional AT-AT pilots rather than TIE, because black does not blend too well with DBG, but white and a little pinch of sand blue would nicely.
