Yes, that's where the design originated from- http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE/ad_starfighter

You haven't seen that before? You put the neck holes around the arms/pop the arms off and reattach them through the holes. It's neato. wut

Very neat, reminds me of the stuff people would make back before the Star Wars sets came out.

I am very very excited for this next wave of minifigs in hard plastic packing peanuts! Nearly every set has something awesome in it, I'm especially excited for the Jabba's sail barge, I'll get it to go along with the palace I have and rancor pit I'm hoping to get. A weequay! And Gran! I've been hoping for those for years. Finally getting some of the basic thuggy aliens. I'm also confused by the E-wing, is that a TOR set?

Is there a coruscant planet set? I havent payed much attention to them before but the minifig selecion of the next wave has me intrigued. The only thing keeping me from getting multiples for figs is I would then have tons of not-useful balls...

I didn't notice that first time I looked at it. That's brilliant!

Nice. Is it supposed to be John Marston?

The only thing I would change about this set is to add a gunner for Luke. I love the printed legs, the gun designs, the probe droid is awesome. The slope front which I think has been used for at least a couple snowspeeder iterations rubs me the wrong way however. It just doesn't look right. I've seen some great MOCs that use angled plates and such but I think those kinds of structures are too weak for set standards.

Is that so! That makes me sad.

The original A-wing set was one of my first Star Wars lego sets (and indeed one of my first lego sets period) at age 9 and this set hearkens back to that time pretty well. The awesome figs, the little tools and accessories, the random bits of the ship that could be anything and detach for no good reason, it's all really fun. Not to mention the set itself looks really good. I just wish they'd bring back the rebel mechanics.

I'm interested in that red mandalorian armor obi-wan is wearing.

I think a naboo ship would be a great set, especially with all the new curvy slopes we have. The royal starship would be best I think A)because of the minifig selection (a couple new astromechs would be great, I love astro minifigs) and B) we've actually seen the interior, it could have a control room, a throne room, and a hyperdrive room/ droid bay. I'm thinking something like the ISD or falcon in size with opening panels to reach the inside. The only question in my mind is, would it be bley or chrome? or some combination? Maybe chrome on top and bley on the bottom? I still shudder to think of the price.

I'd like to see something like that, but maybe a smaller version with one senate floating thing and a couple aliens. A Gran! Or Twilek. And then another set of those coruscant taxis that were in episode 1.

You're compromising detail for what, exactly? The "feeling" of a model. You're making a caricature. If that's what you enjoy, do so. That doesn't make your building immune to criticisms.

And that's great. In fact I would say that's one of the most concise ways to look at MOCing, and one that would yield good results, and I assume you've followed this model of building for all of your projects along with your other philosophies. The snag however, is this Apparently you didn't get to the last step. And in general... who cares? It still looks like an at-at right? Maybe you'll add it in later, maybe it's still a WIP, maybe you can't figure out how to do it well within your rules and you chose to omit it. All valid points, but whatever the reason someone is going to point it out. The real problem is the way you limit yourself and end up with a pretty good result, when you could have an amazing result, or even the best result. And then when people point this out to you, you adopt this superior attitude that is extremely obnoxious. I understand if you don't care enough to make it perfect; hell for me lego is one of my minor hobbies, I bought my first set today in probably 4 months (skiff, amazing figs btw) and if I was in your shoes and had an MOC like this one, I'd have it locked up and never bother with it again. But it seems you updated it recently and that shows to me you do care, and I'd like to see you build something that someone can look to for years as the standard for LEGO AT-AT MOCs or some other such nonsense. You're 90% of the way there.

Grooves? I wasn't talking about grooves. These parts are the details absent, and to reiterate it looks too fat compared to the head. And again, I understand why you chose to do the neck that way and it's ok. It doesn't matter if it's perfect or not. I suppose repeating internet fad drivel makes everything ok.

Well, since you asked; Here's guybrush's UCS from several years ago that, while not perfect, at least attempts to capture some of the neck details. And here's another, also one I remember from a while back that, though simple and also inaccurate, captures well the size ratio between head/neck/body and legs. Which, by the way, is the issue I had with your model. The legs (and neck) look nice, but compared to the rest of the model the legs look skinny and the neck looks fat. I understand why you built the legs you did as you detailed in your original post, and that's fine. All I gave in my post was my opinion. I said the model looked good other than a few parts that seemed "off", but it was nothing more than aesthetics. I don't know why you feel it necessary to respond in a way that could be considered rude and condescending.

Looks very nice, the details are fun to look at as opposed to cluttered. Some parts look a bit inaccurate at least as far as scale goes (guns, neck, legs) but I don't have a picture of an "actual" at-at in front of me to compare. Doesn't make it look any less good.

Hey look! Minifigs for an unfinished project. On the left is Jan Ors, the right is Kyle Katarn from their most recent 3D iterations in Jedi Knights 2/3. and for fun here's kyle from Dark Forces (left) and Jedi Knight 1. Not sure if these go here or in the custom minifig section, if needed I'd appreciate it if a mod moved this topic!

Amazing! Possibly my favorite video game period, and a great MOC as well. I love your reborn, spot on, and the environment is fantastic. I was planning on doing an MOC based on Jedi Knight as well for the contest but never finished it. I'm glad somebody did one!

Very nice review. Makes me wish they would remake the set. I really want that Greedo and Dewback! I'd give up the speeder for a bar and maybe another alien.

As I'm sure you've noticed by now, the storm trooper and scout trooper have their torsos mixed up! Very cute vig, I like the music stand.

A mediocre set for a mediocre game... Since the first time I've seen this set it's looked like nothing but a jumble of plates to me, supremely amateurish. And unfortunately the review, though presented well, didn't change my mind at all.

did you go to the toys r us in Pinole? I work there and saw a guy buy a bunch of those. He mentioned them being hard to find. EDIT: never mind, I see you're in Florida. Illiteracy is a big problem, kids.

Interesting. I assume you used pictures of the toy for reference, is it possible you could link to one?
