A cool ship and MOC : The AT-IC

Check this out:

The AT-IC

Isn´t an amazing AT. It is basically an AT-AT with an ion cannon mounted on the back.

Check the source:

AT-IC in wookieepedia

This isn´t a MOC of my own it´s only a brickshelf find.

That's made by HJR he's a member here.

And might I add its a lovely creation he's got there. :-)

There are only a few words that are able to describe what I saw in that BrickShelf folder, and those words are...

Pure Wicked Awesomeness! *skull*

I never knew such a thing exsisted in this world, or was even possible, the magnitude of the thing... this has rekindled my lost spirit for the Original Trilogy!

It would of been sweet just to see the most badass vehicle in the OT in Tan, but to combine it with the one thing that could paralyze an ISD... sheer genious!

Kudos to the builder. *y*

I know that he based it off a Toy prototype, but still it's remarkable I've never seen something this awesome in an OT MOC!

Thank you for rekindling my love of the OT!

I think it is like the SPHA-T of the OT. :-D

A fine work indeed, but I guess we already talked about this neat creation here.... 8-| somewhere.... X-D

Hey folks, thanks for the positive feedback :-)

I made this MOC about two years ago after having downloaded some images from the great toysrgus.com website where they had quite a lot of images of prototypes which never made it to full production, and a few of them caught my attention, like this AT-IC, but also for instance the SRV-1.

The initial idea was to just convert an AT-AT into an AT-IC, but due to the steep prices back then for an original AT-AT and old light grey parts, I decided to build the vehicle in the colours it ought to have, and where, to my suprise, I already had 1/3 of the required parts on stock.

Nowadays it's really the pride and joy of my MOC collection (I never break up models once they're made, which makes MOC building rather expensive I suppose) and I still need to make some new photos of it due to some slight tweaks I made (most notably the feet, which now have light grey dishes instead of dark grey ones).

Again, thanks for the feedback, and if there's any questions, remarks etc. please let me know.

Cheers,

HJR
