[MOC] AT-ST 3.0

[Nom Carver]

After disassembling most of my sets, the only vehicle that I kept built was the AT-ST from the battle of endor set, but I realized how flimsy it looked to me and even though I moded it I was not satisfied and since I totally dislike play features and useless mechanisms like that silly "walking" function I started to work with my new surplus of bricks and came up with this one, a combination of characteristics of other walkers like the previos versions of the AT-ST and the latest AT-RT, what I wanted was to make it sturdier and mostly brick built, so without further ado, here it is:

Good work!

You did implement the good part of both designs!

also you managed to give it a bit of your own twist too, though it still could use some minor improvements.

Really nice MOC. I'd love to see TLG make one similar to this.

Thanks TWP! I would like to hear your recommendations regarding to improvements.

Thanks Sir Brickalot! it does look very TLG like since is relatively simple and not so detailed, I think it would make a neat little set.

[Manx]

It's really a nice mixture of both designs and I have to admit it looks pretty good. But, where's Chewie?

[DonBrizzel]

Very nicely done. Proportions look right, and you've managed to capture all the essential details.

excellent work once again nom carver! it's much better than any of the ones lego put out IMO.

Thanks a lot guys, glad you liked it, regarding to chewie, this version has been improved to be able to resist against furry creature assaults.

[ChiefPie]

Cool

[Brickdoctor]

Nice work, Nom! Definitely looks like it could be an official set, and you've accomplished your goal of lending a more solid look to the most recent of TLG's iterations. One thing I'd change is that it really needs more of an inwards slope going down along the sides of the 'head'. That's one of the things that the '09 version had and the previous two didn't, and which really helped that official version to look less blocky.

[Brickdoctor]

Cool

That's enough. You've been warned about this before; this style of posting is not acceptable on EB. Let's have a chat.

Great work Nom Carver! Can it light Ewoks on fire?

[Chills]

Another great MOC, Nom. I like how it combines the best parts of the AT-ST from 7657 and 8038. I like how the head section looks like more tight and finished than the one from 8038. Nice work.

Thanks Doc, I will be brainstorming on a solution for that.

Of course! I actually intended to take a pic doing so .

Thanks Chills, sturdier is always better for me.

[Commander Colt]

Very Nice! Maybe see if you can have the front face section tilt back a bit and have something at the back of the roof that tilts up and is slotted.

I really like the brick built look and sturdy design.

[Godtshep]

Lovely MOC! Can the top part swivel?

Thanks, I am not sure what do you mean, the head does swivel but only to the sides.

This looks really good. It seems a lot more 'substantial' than previous Lego versions, I think brickdoctor is right though...it needs more of a angle on the 'cheeks' of the head. I like your solution to the twin side cannons, using a t bar piece by the look of it. Maybe the anti blast shields over the viewports could be a little bigger but that's just me. My favourite official version of the at st is 7657 because it looks solid and armoured, but the legs on yours look better somehow

Thanks, I have to admit that the lack of angles make it look a little odd but at least is way sturdier than the official version from the battle of endor set, I also liked 7657 better than its most recent incarnation, I intended to combine the best from both designs but ended picking elements from the latest AT-RT.
