    Fantastic! I am fond of the extra smoothness on the wings and the correct angle for the nose. By the way, how sturdy are the wings on yours?
  2. LiLmeFromDaFuture
    Yes, and that is when it becomes unrealistic; didn't you see my comment before this?

    A very familiar and valid statement comes to mind… If they can shell a measly $400 on piles of plastic bricks, yet an extra $100 is an automatic deal breaker, they should reevaluate dropping $400 on LEGO (paraphrased).

    The Batmobile and my favorite (besides the 1960)! You did a fantastic job recreating the sleekness of this vehicle in such a small scale!

    Originally, I was hoping for that, but with the Technic turntable (which I need, so it does not wobble around without being attached to a base), it could not be done; having the same minimal increments, as the ratcheted joint, in 15º.

    Almost! The second "L" is capitalized as well . Anyway, indeed I have a Technic ratcheted joint in each leg, but to prevent them from being collapsed on by the immense weight, or wobbly legs with the lack of two, I implemented Mixel ball joints at the front opening of the knee. However, because of the limited positions in which the joint can be angled, it is only possible for the walker to stand leveled if all legs are bent Lego AT-AT Joint by LiLmeFromDaFuture, on Flickr

    How did you attach the binoculars?

    They appear to be of the same mold used for Hero Factory elements, so I believe it would be better than the previous ones.

    The curved 1 x 4 slope was necessary because of the underlying modified plate with handle that connects the 1 x 1 forehead, which also connects to the roof, to face armoring—"a Cars look." Alternatively using wedge plates would not work so well, since the head is narrower. With me, I did not want the hassle of managing all those points of articulation to get it to stand, this would not be the case if there were some quality ratcheted joints. However, the ankles will not be of much concern since I am using (92013), which is very stiff, but I am still considering your design for the inter-leg bars as a ultimate option.

    Well here is michaelozzie's AT-ST, who used my design for the face armoring, and in my opinion it appears great in physical bricks: Delta class DX9 Stormtrooper transport. by Michael, on Flickr

    Yes, but I won't be able to anchor it to the body, as I was meaning to say, without simply using (64311) unfortunately… (64644), otherwise called a telescope. Indeed it is the perfect size, and would have been the perfect design if not for the collision occurrences with the road sign clip, the modified plate with handle, into a larger wheel.

    Fantastic job! I especially like all the opening hatches; would love to see more photos of the interior, like where the troops are seated.

    I wanted to use those extenders with the rubber inserts, but the joint being seven studs in length is already too long :( It might be an ultimate option to preserve the ball connector. I did something similar, alternatively using the spyglass, but I discover that the mechanical claw, with the disk in between, can just barely hold in the lampshade, and I would not accept it. However, it seems to work fine with the gear you will have there, because of the indent. I had a very detailed design that used the 2 x 2 road sign for the plastron, but the build came out to large, so I saved it for maybe a larger AT-ST. I thought about using skis but they seemed to long, yet I look forward to what you have accomplished with them! Fair statement. That might be the gaps resulting this, because there is no small wedge plates that match the angle, plus I have this necessity to include the trap door element so minifigures can be seated in the cockpit. However, I intend to fix the gaps up the best I can with the updates I have planned for the back, but even now I am looking into other solutions involving uses with the hinge plate. Plates for the face armoring would not work so well with how narrow the head is, and it seems to me that this area should be studies as possible, since it is the most notable feature of the walker, so it makes for a nice change from the studded side plates (which originally, I did have tiled up quite so much).

    Besides endeavoring to fill in the gaps on the back of the head, I always wanted to fix that particular joint to the body. Why would not that limit the possibility? Why indeed it will, but it will also make standing the walker on its own two legs less of a balancing act, as there is less articulation to manage—makes it more playable actually! Though I accomplished this with few parts and minimal redesigning as possible, I had to use (64311), which is currently out of production, and its most relevant color to that of an AT-ST is black. However, in the necessary redesigning to implement the new joints, the belly is now flatter with simple use of the 6 x 4 inverted slope cutout—looks infinitely better! Additionally, I was never completely satisfied with the previous version of the concussion grenade launcher, but now after noticing the nice part usage of (92906), to look the part on the upcoming Lego AT-ST set for Rogue One, it appeared to be a great idea to use the same (since nothing else seemed to work for certain reasons) and it turned out great!

    Even longer than that ! I know it might be difficult to accomplish with the limited variety of mechanical/skeletal arms, but a possible solution with the following pieces could render improved results: Unfortunately, the last part is not available in LDD, but with that element and the claw, you can significantly increase the length of the arms. Besides that, after looking at the image La Chupacabra shared, your model would benefit from a squatter body.
  17. LiLmeFromDaFuture
    It appears great, but that is just a general observation on a back lit image, though it could improve from longer arms. Besides that, I like the use of the modified plates with the railing.
  18. LiLmeFromDaFuture
    I prefer the previous version, as it appears shallower, since it is flatter, but I believe this one is more accurate, and this cockpit is a plus if it opens easier! That is what it closely resembles in my opinion (a better name than modified tile with handle) , and I think Lego used it as such for some of their older City sets.
  19. LiLmeFromDaFuture
    Many thanks! Much appreciated! I am also looking forward to getting that file package done for those of you who are interested—enough procrastination for me !
  20. LiLmeFromDaFuture
    With ingenuic ideas? Have you seen this topic here? Anyway, I like your design for the cockpit with use of the lunchbox piece—a spectacular way to fashion a brick built cockpit!
  21. LiLmeFromDaFuture
    *See image above* You will see my current progress on revising that area—many thanks!
  22. LiLmeFromDaFuture
    That's a great observation!
  23. LiLmeFromDaFuture
    Ooh, that is good to hear; the more sets they appear in, the merrier it will be when they become readily available from Bricklink or B&P—I am in need of many.
  24. LiLmeFromDaFuture
    Maybe not exactly, though a statement that this is appropriately scaled to minifigures would be technically correct .
  25. LiLmeFromDaFuture
    They probably won't sell too well with the said price and that shipping …
