009 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) I saw a lot of attempt on internet about buiding AT-RT with LEGO. But sadly either too big (not in scale) or too simple/blocky (build with big blocks and big joint). I try to build it myself. At start, I knew this task is difficult. I have to encounter the difficulties : - in scale (overall height about two man height) - joints of legs - front cover shape I think I did it pretty close, hope u guys like it. Reference image From the picture and Star Wars info, the AT-RT should be around 2 man height Edited November 7, 2019 by 009 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeChu1980 Posted November 4, 2019 Pretty cool MF scale AT-RT, especially the legs design, it's very nice inspiration to me, thanks for your sharing. And the photograph is also clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samppu Posted November 4, 2019 Looks very good, though I disagree on the philosophy about the scale, because using height for scale does not really work well with Lego figures in my opinion. Their heads are relatively so large compared to the humans that, for example, in this case the vehicle actually looks too small if you take the scale from the helmet instead of the height of the figure. My point is that you could easily make the AT-RT a little bigger to have more space for the details without losing the proper scale. Nevertheless, the overall appearance really catches the shape of it extremely well and building in this size is very difficult so great work on that. =) - Samppu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for model building, we commonly count the "overall size" as the basic count. The most significant dimension for counting the overall size for a MF seems to be the easiest height . so I count the size of a human figure in LEGO with that (MF height = human height, about 1.8m ~ 2m tall) All my MOC follows this abovesaid scale. E.g. my MOC AT-ST is about 4 MF height (8~9m tall) in LEGO world, which matches what Star Wars did. Otherwise if we base on head size of MF, I am afraid it may looks odd (too big) when we put it in a scene with Hoth base and AT-AT together. Anyway this abovesaid about scale is my explanation about my own interpretation, hope not offence anyone. Anyway thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
009 Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) BTW I was known as Hopeso009, actually you can search on MOCpages for all my previous works. I always do MOC in that scale. However I lost the password of that account since I stopped play LEGO for a few years. HAHA no time to play. Now I am using my true name Joe Luk and keep updating MOCpages with this account. Now I am re-building the Droideka (MF scale) since LEGO had added some new parts during these recent years. Now I can make it much better than my previous version (Hopeso009's Droideka http://www.moc-pages.com/image_zoom.php?mocid=127499&id=/user_images/24713/12448950372).

009 Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) For scale, I was trying to base on the original Star Wars size. You can check out the youtube video below, it also count the overall height/length. Actually this video is quite stunning to me because some size of Star Wars stuff I really didnt know before. Quite educational, I mean.
