DarthPineapple Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Hello all, For many years making a diorama from the battle of Hoth has always been on my wishlist. With the recent influx of minifg-scaled AT-ATs one more excellent than the other, I was once again inspired and started my own one. :) Needless to say, it turned out so great much a diorama soon followed. Like all my projects, I started designing in LDD and then got all the parts I required. Designing and building time was approx. 1 year, with lots of smaller projects in between as well. The diorama consists of 8 (4x2) large baseplates and includes a Rebel trench, shield generator, turrets and blaster cannon foxholes. A snowspeeder is flying over ready to engage. The empire is represented by an AT-AT, AT-ST and a large number of snowtroopers with an E-Web blaster cannon. The AT-AT also includes an accurate interior, with a troop area, speeder bike garage and more! Everything was built as close as possible to the source material. Troop capacity is 36 from the 40, unfortunately 4 seats had to be removed to allow space for the neck anchoring in the hull. Additionally there is a 5-man crew (commander, 2 drivers and 2 deck officers). In addition, lights are built into the AT-AT, cannons and turrets! Here are the pictures; I apologize for the background as they were taken at a local show my LUG held. AT-AT with full interior. The model can stand on its own without further support. The legs and side panels can detach for "easy" transport, but it requires two persons to set it back up again. Snowtroopers and AT-ST Snowspeeder Rebel trench Let me know what you think! There are a few people who deserve credit: All in the Reflexes, who shared his AT-AT hull LDD file here on EB. I used this as the basis for my AT-AT, strengthened and modified the exterior and then added the interior. Larry Lars for his excellent snowspeeder design, which I slightly modified. LiLmeFromDaFuture, from who I used the AT-ST legs and feet. I also based by shield generator design on a MOC I saw here on EB, but I forgot who was the author. Anyone?

jdm44 Posted November 13, 2016 Wow this is spectacular. I love the AT-AT footprints and how the feet are dug into the snow among many other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiLmeFromDaFuture Posted November 14, 2016 The AT-ST head makes the most impressive design I ever seen—I will have to try it on mine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Japanbuilder Posted November 14, 2016 That is awesome! Love all the details. Those speeders tucked into the hull look great plus the massive amount of troops already deployed on the hapless rebels is very inspiring >=) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dimnico Posted November 21, 2016 Really, really nice. I absolutely love the ATAT footprints - really creative. The trench looks awesome too. My only suggestion would be to add some dark grey here and there to match the rocky outcrops of Hoth, just an idea? Incredible work though, I dont think I would be able to build something on that scale! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bbafett Posted November 21, 2016 Really awesome! Very well done. Love how much space you had on the interior of the ATAT. Is that speeder your design? Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, I've certainly thought about some rock formations but haven't included them yet... who knows, maybe in the future I will expand this dio. :) 2 hours ago, Bbafett said: Really awesome!
