samiam391 Posted January 10, 2015 After 4 weeks of what felt like a battle more than a build, I've finally put the final piece in place on cavegod's AT-AT. Ever since I first saw pictures of it several years ago I've always wanted to try my hand at building it. However, there never seemed to be an opportunity, until a few weeks ago when cavegod ironically posted a listing of someone selling all the pieces to the AT-AT which he wanted taken down due to copyright. In an effort to appease cavegod (my excuse) I purchased the listing. A week later, the pieces arrived, and I dove in head first. After hours of building, improvising, fixing, building, improvising, rebuilding, fixing, improvising (you get the gist)... I have finally completed the monster roughly 3 weeks later. While I have my concerns over it falling over at the slightest touch, I'm in awe of Pete's creation. The attention to detail is simply incredible, you can't ask for much better. The scale is quite impressive too, as you can see from the (poorly and hastily taken) pictures below. Also, it only feels right to direct anyone interested in this set to @cavegod. Shoot him a PM and he'll send you the instructions for a very small, well deserved sum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuppylodders Posted January 11, 2015 Ive seen the original in the flesh and it truly is impressive. One notable but good difference I can see, is yours has the ability to wink a little bit ;) i do enjoy seeing a bit of playability xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 11, 2015 Great model - I love these AT-ATs (ever since "The empire strikes back" came out...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deanorth Posted January 14, 2015 I'm soon to finish mine too, but I'm struggling mostly with the head (getting the right angle for the head side is a nightmare lol), but I'm getting there, even if somes pieces are REALLY expensive. Didn't get the huge 2 wheels for the underside of body, too expensive. and..same goes for the 8" light grey dish (should have made the model in light gray:) ), there are 6 needed for this model, and they cost...nearly 80$ each.

deanorth Posted August 17, 2015 Are the legs strong enough to support the structure? However,great job.Thumbs up for you! The legs supports the body wtihout a problem, I even have strengthen the structure a lot, and it wasn't a problem. the issue is more about the building order, it's better to have the two flank of the body installed before putting the body on the legs, because they do are strong enough, but not friendly with horizontal movement so to say:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anio Posted August 17, 2015 Captain Braunsfeld, you should try to put bigger pictures in your signature. With more text, and more lines. It is really too discrete at the moment. So please, make it bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
