Wurger49 Posted yesterday at 06:43 AM Posted yesterday at 06:43 AM The official model is 5.9 cm wide, 10.6 cm long, 15.4 cm tall. Or 2.3 inches wide, 4.2 inches long, 6.1 inches tall. My model is 5.1 cm wide, 9.1 cm long, 12.8 cm tall. Or 2.0 inches wide, 3.6 inches long, 5.1 inches tall. Another overpriced set from LEGO — even though it includes two great builds, the newly designed Spider Droid and the updated AT-RT. The yellow AT-RT has been downsized from the massive 501st version of 2020, which in my view is actually a positive change compared to other downsized Star Wars vehicles. Just like when I rebuilt the 501st AT-RT, I wanted to make this walker more screen-accurate and closer to minifigure scale. The Spider Droid was not modified in this listing. It was important to me that the AT-RT remain as posable as the original. The large feet from the set play a key role in stability, so I kept most of their design intact including 6 dishes for leg joints, with only minor adjustments. From the hips upward, however, I redesigned nearly everything — saddle, seat, and front shield — to significantly reduce the overall size and make it truer to scale. For play and posing, I recommend holding the model at the hips, since sudden pressure on the joints can shift the connection there. I also modified the flat silver tooth plate by removing the bracket beneath it, giving it more articulation and adding stability when posed in a walking stance. With the spare pieces, I put together a small command post, complete with blasters and a communications unit. I hope everyone who picks up this set (hopefully on sale!) enjoys the build and finds this AT-RT mod a more accurate and satisfying version.
