That's just insane!! I absolutely love this MOC, just amazing!

Could you post more close-ups of the AT-ATs? They look just brilliant.

I absolutely love this!! Im slightly gutted there arent more pics (that i can find) that show in more detail the AT ATs and how they are built internally, or if they have any form of an interior, but the fact there are 4 of them! They fill the scene nicely. Especially the downed one, that is pretty cool! The working bacta tank is a nice detailed touch, how did you seal it?

It literally has everything in the scene, even Darth Vaders corridor! Great job!

Well that bacta is sealed by silicon (it doesn't hurt Lego, don't worry :grin: )

You can see it next year again on Lipno exhibition. It was financed by organizators.

I will find more pictures of AT-ATs and add them soon. :wink:

Will this be on display this year at Lipno? If so I will have to schedule a visit to Czech Rep. on my visit to Europe this year.

My 6 yr old son and I are just starting our own Hoth MOC (our 1st ever MOC) and this has been a huge inspiration to us. So much amazing detail.

"Look at the size of that thing."

Very impressive. Bacta bubbles are just so cool.

AT-ATs are big and good looking as well, and you really

seemed to have there the details and stuff from the movie

such as the Ion Cannon.

Size also matters sometimes.

One flaw, though. When it certainly is not about the number of bricks

nor about the talent (for this I am very sure), please leave the official

sets at home and make your own MOC ones.

This one has them, though, and I am very pleased to see that AT-ATs

are MOCs. A couple of official sets as a rush addition are ok, but I have

seen many Battle of Hoth -dioramas where the only thing the builder did

him/herself was the snow. Luckily this is not a one of those, but still...

A little less snow and a MOC snowspeeder..?

Love this pic. It really gives your MOC scale since 10179 is included. How did you add the lights to 10179?

This looks really good. Love the detail of the ice forming inside the base. The small things matter the most!

I also love the at-at's. Hope to build one like this someday

Well I agree, I don't like using official sets much. But this time I had to finish it quickly for the exhibition deadline, therefore I used some official sets (X-wing, snowspeeder) to save time.

Thank you for comment. I'm sorry not to respond earlier. But as I said earlier, this model will be placed from this year on in Prague.

These are non Lego LED lights, the whole model contains more than 100 of them :)
