cavegod Posted April 7, 2010 ok i'm debating as to wether i should glue the legs, theres a lot of weight and it is bowing the legs out at the knees causing the bricks/plates to prise apart?????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

legoman777 Posted April 7, 2010 ok i'm debating as to wether i should glue the legs, theres a lot of weight and it is bowing the legs out at the knees causing the bricks/plates to prise apart??????you should put a stack of clear bricks together and then put them at the center of the at-at Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Arjay Posted April 8, 2010 ok i'm debating as to wether i should glue the legs, theres a lot of weight and it is bowing the legs out at the knees causing the bricks/plates to prise apart?????? Don't do it! As Rufus said theres bound to be a better option than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavegod Posted April 8, 2010 without making the legs wider i am at a loss as to what to do don't want a stack of clear bricks that would look worse than wider legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Arjay Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) without making the legs wider i am at a loss as to what to do don't want a stack of clear bricks that would look worse than wider legs. I agree that a stack of clear bricks wouldn't work. Upon a second look at your model you could possibly get away with widening the legs at the knees a little but I'm not sure if that would work. Right now thats the best thing I can think of. Edited April 8, 2010 by Lord Arjay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavegod Posted April 8, 2010 well i think i have sorted it was a simple fix really, remove 24 bricks and replace all with plates, (much stronger bond with each other) i have also added a hinge brick with 2x2 top to each ankle so that now the ankles are fixed.

Thats good news to hear. As for the actual AT-AT which I have yet to comment on... stunning absolutely stunning I don't think anything I say wil be good enough a description so I'll just admire it quietly.

cavegod Posted April 14, 2010 What a hassle with the UCS sticker the only way to get it to look the way i wanted it was to spray it with Laquer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted April 14, 2010 What a hassle with the UCS sticker the only way to get it to look the way i wanted it was to spray it with Laquer! Ouch! I guess that spraying a few bricks will be an ok expense considering the sheer size and magnitude of this project? Can't wait for you to post pics of the final design.

cavegod Posted April 25, 2010 Well i fixed the AT-AT's tendancy to do the splits by fitting 1 of these in every foot, i have offset th etyres so that the rims do not protrude past them giving me foam aganst the ground and a no slip foot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickplumber Posted April 25, 2010 I noticed that one of the builders is using my design, I am ok with that. Here is a link to mine. I have built 3 and have a motorized interior winch for raising and lowering troops. I built it about 5 years ago and it took 5 revisions and about 1 years from first try until the models I am using in my Hoth layout.

HenryMorgan Posted September 29, 2010 the only instructions would be don't do it your life will end and you will spend hours on bricklink and in a dark room full of lego! still good fun though sorry no instructions you can build it easy enough from the pictures. Damn, i love your work. But without an instruction building,i will never can make such a great AT-AT. I would like to copy your work,but no chance without an instruction building. Respect to all of you, who can make so fantastic UCS sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sigpro Posted September 29, 2010 A good way to save weight is using plates instead of bricks, as I did in my creation. Another good way is using technic bricks, I think the big ones are ligther than the standard bricks. The joints were also a problem for me, so I had to double the joints in "knees" and "hips". Anyway, excellent job!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
