jhaelego Posted March 15, 2018 I haven't posted here in a while. Thought I'd return with a bang. My friend and I are working on a rather large Crait MOC. Having a minifig scaled AT-AT(which will eventually have to be converted to the first order version for this MOC), I was challenged with having to design an AT-M6 to go along with it. This is what I came up with. UCS AT-M6 by Jhaelon Edwards, on Flickr Specs: -Over 15,000 pieces -(Almost) Full interior with lights -It stands 34.5 inches tall Here are some more pics: UCS AT-M6 by Jhaelon Edwards, on Flickr UCS AT-M6 by Jhaelon Edwards, on Flickr UCS AT-M6 by Jhaelon Edwards, on Flickr UCS AT-M6 by Jhaelon Edwards, on Flickr UCS AT-M6 by Jhaelon Edwards, on Flickr UCS AT-M6 by Jhaelon Edwards, on Flickr AT-M6 Cockpit by Jhaelon Edwards, on Flickr AT-M6 Cockpit by Jhaelon Edwards, on Flickr FAQ: Q: Why aren't the legs bent or angled? A: The knees do not bend because there simply is no lego joint that could support the weight of a model like this(it weighs around 35-40 pounds). The legs are not angled to make it a more stable model. The body is very huge and having the legs angled means fewer connections points from the legs to the body, which means reduced stability. As it stands now, it is a very solid build, and can even withstand some light pushes without falling over. Q: Where's the third room on the bottom level? A: I had to omit it! That room is positioned between the top of the two front legs would be inaccessible if I added it in. Q: Is it *really* minifig scale? Looks too small next to the AT-AT! A: I had somewhat limited reference material with this when I was initially designing it. I had no clear picture of it next to an AT-AT that wasn't at a weird angle. As such, it ended up being about and inch and a half shorter than it should. I MAY go back at some point and make it a little taller. Until then, I think it looks fine :).

Cypirate Posted March 15, 2018 This is simply insane! It's huge and looks awesome from all angles. :D I cannot wait to see the full completed crait diorama! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davenocheese Posted March 15, 2018 I've been following your progress on Youtube and have to commend you for such a fantastic build. The sheer size is outstanding. You also captured the menacing look very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvogon Posted March 15, 2018 Wow! I would say that's just insane... Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forresto Posted March 15, 2018 At a certain point trenches are useless...I think they're absolutely so with your behemoth lumbering forward. I am blown away! Beautiful work! A true complement to your AT-AT, or is your AT-AT complement the AT-M6 at this scale, its hard to know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tariq j Posted March 15, 2018 Absolutely beautiful work! Visually, Crait is one of the most interesting and best scenes out there, so really looking forward to seeing the rest of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bugglefett Posted March 16, 2018 Rich boy I have been watching the stream building this and it is amazing. Thanks for letting us see this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roadstermatt Posted March 16, 2018 that's amazing the official set looks tiny next to it this must be colossal brilliant job well done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGeneralMoe Posted March 16, 2018 Lego needs to come up with a larger joint piece so it can be physically possible for these MOCs to have moving legs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhaelego Posted March 23, 2018 Thanks for the kind words everyone :) On 3/15/2018 at 1:32 AM, GhostDog said: That looks incredible. Supporting 35-40 pounds is no mean feat on those legs. What were your biggest challenges in designing this build? Definitely the lower half of the front legs! It was so hard initially to come up with a design to put all the complex shapes on all sides of it together. It also would get annoying at times putting the body on/taking the body off of the legs to continue working on it as the it got bigger and bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treffer21 Posted March 25, 2021 Does anyone build this? How was the building? How is the ldd file? Is the instruction easy to export? How many "hard to find pieces" are in this build? Thx!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
