75153 AT-ST modification

[misupix]

So many nice ideas and modifications in this thread. Thanks

 

Took some ideas and worked in mine, too.

 Wanted to share my AT-ST:

 

Added another joint to allow more leg movement. Tried balljoints first, bit that didn't proof stable enough.....so came up with this solution. 

 

Another pose...

 

...whide strides...

 

This is my Interior, the pilots never forget their Ghetto-Blaster!

 

Family-photo with the Mini-Version.

 

 

Comments and imorovement-ideas welcome!

Great job, and id agree looks more like the original from the film now!

So I just did the build and took some ideas from here to adapt. Pics follow.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread; and it has inspired me to make some modifications to my own AT-ST.  I--like many of you who have already posted your mods--expanded the interior to fit two pilots and added an extra joint to the legs.  Other than that, I made a few cosmetic changes based solely on personal preference.  I replaced the rocket launcher on the right side of the "head" with a cannon that matches the one on the left side of the "head" (I like things to be symmetrical).  I made the guns bigger and the legs longer.  I reworked the feet.  Overall, my changes made my AT-ST less accurate to the source material; but I think it looks good.  I hope you like it.

Please pardon the lousy photography.

I was wondering could someone provide a parts list for the hinges and cups to articulate the legs

Very cool ideas in this thread - used some of them for my own set :)

 

Will start building this one tonight:

My take on a First Order Version, similar to the red and black Tie. Hope it won´t turn out too ugly, lol. I will try to integrate the canon from the aweful Last Jedi set.

The claws for the feet are a perfect fit, but is that Lego? Which part is it?

They're Kre-o parts....

*...hangs head in shame...*

I try to keep my MOCs purist; but these were too perfect to pass up.

How's this coming on?

I like the changes!

i'm working on mine.

The Legs are always my biggest issue with all the official builds. So I concentrate on them. More will follow..

Hi

just bought this set

I was wondering if i can fit 2 seats like this inside ?

I managed to get 2 of this in light blue...

And finally, i find the at-st a bit high, can i shorten the legs without losing stability ?

 

thanks

Answer for both questions is yes, though you have to modify the sides of the head to make them thinner and use jumpers to offset the seats. I can't link pics as brickshelf is offline but I shortened the legs on mine too.

[macaron35]

if you could post your pics soon i would really appreciate

thanks

I finally succeeded in putting 2 seats by removing the section behind with the 2x2 space with the 2 detonators

I added a control panel in front of the pilots but I have to find something to cover those very white parts maybe try to put computers or control panels there

 

 

 

next mod will be to shorten the legs a little bit

I enjoy viewing all of these ideas and they've truly helped me in figuring out how to modify a few things.

If I may ask, I am trying to achieve this design below for the face-plate as I really enjoy the look of it, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get this slope piece to fit.

Before I try to mod the inside of the walker to try out a console design I have in mind, I really want to achieve the look of the front-plate first to see if it will work.

I have not really modded sets this extensively before, so if anyone who has experience could help me, it would be appreciated.
