Legostein Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Hello everyone! Today I'd like to present you a model that is long overdue in my collection - the AT-ST. Let me quickly explain why. The official mini AT-ST of the LEGO® company is one of the few mini models of them that I really like. Hence I decided to go smaller for my version, and the idea how to do that came to me a few weeks ago. So here it is, the 9-piece All-Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST). Click the image to get the instructions. It uses a pair of droid arms and a droid torso. The torso allows for the attachment of a 1x1 clip plate enabling us to get the front of the head slightly sloped. Have a great sunday everyone! Yours Christopher. Quote
DarthSion Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Incredible as always, is there anything you can't make?. Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Dam AWESOME 'Legostein' - what a simple yet detailed walker - I'm a conformist! ! Quote
kciR Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 That's an excellent micro model! Just as the rest of your mini collection! Quote
legofett990 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 For a nine piece model this is stunning- such a simple yet accurate reconstruction of a classic vehicle. Keep it up! Quote
Forresto Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Now if only the Empire had such a small piece count for Their AT-STs they would have been unstoppable at Endor! Anyways This is excellent and very piece efiiecient too. I f you want you could probably make a whole little army out of these! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 How close is this to 1:200 scale? Because it looks about the size of Roguebantha's AT-ST, which you have definitely bested. Quote
OneSnowTrooper Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Sheer brilliance! only 9 pieces and there is no doudbt when you see it your looking at an AT-ST. What I find mind boggeling is the amount of detail you can get with this amount of pieces. Quote
Rocketbilly Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 WOW! i think this is my favourite mini model of yours, Legostein Instantly recognisable, clean, detailed and perfect! Personally I never use the connection that you've used for the feet, but it definitely looks great like that, and the droid arms are surprisingly effective, and I bet using this basic plan you could make numerous AT-ST variants. There are quite a few similar, yet subtly different versions you could make. I think you could make it in Tan, too - A desert version! Glad to see more of your work, regards Will/Rocketbilly Quote
Tanotrooper Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 This is truly outstanding work, the resemblance is striking and still it uses only a few pieces. Great work as always! Gaetano Quote
prateek Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Wow! This is amazing! The only thing is that it can't really stand on it's own. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 This is just ingenuity at its best - a very impressive 9-piece creation indeed. With that small piece count you were able to get the basic shape of AT-ST. Great work as usual Legostein! Quote
Darth Jar Jar Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) Wow how do you do it. This is just amazing you have really captured the shape of an AT-ST. In the wise words off Master Yoda "Great is this." Edited August 30, 2010 by Darth Jar Jar Quote
The Legonater Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Incredible work Legostein. Even in one small model, you've managed to incorperate a good deal of detail. Nice! Quote
Masked Builder Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Not bad. You did a lot with only 9 parts! Quote
Ceroknight Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Wow so simple and detailed! But I was able to build it and the feet part always disconnected... Quote
Brickdoctor Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 In the wise words off Master Yoda "Great is this." I don't seem to remember that quote.... Quote
CommanderFox Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 I don't seem to remember that quote.... Neither.. Thats one tiny walker! truly you are the master of mini's! CF Quote
Legostein Posted September 1, 2010 Author Posted September 1, 2010 Hello again everyone! I am flattered by all the nice words for this tiny walker! I admit that it's not all too stable with the solution for the feet. It's a technique I normall strictly avoid as it's kind of an illegal connection. But the scale of the AT-ST presented here is so small that I didn't see any other solution at that time. And it needs the 2x4 clear plate to not bend over. But I guess it's good enough for the display cabinet. Thanks again and see you all soon! ~ Christopher Quote
Brickdoctor Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 And it needs the 2x4 clear plate to not bend over. No, it shouldn't. Move the droid arms slightly back on the clip, so that only the forward-most arm of the clip on the droid arm is squeezed into the 1x1 clip. Then rotate the walker slightly backwards until it balances. Quote
Legostein Posted September 1, 2010 Author Posted September 1, 2010 No, it shouldn't. Move the droid arms slightly back on the clip, so that only the forward-most arm of the clip on the droid arm is squeezed into the 1x1 clip. Then rotate the walker slightly backwards until it balances. Yes it can also stand when it's moving, meaning making a step. But it looks kind of weird, so I went for the plate as it's the more typical AT-ST pose. ~ Christopher Quote

See, if only the forward-most portion of the hand of each droid arm is attached to the clips, then you can play around with the angle at which the walker stands until it balances. Quote
