The little AT-AT Project I've been working on - Cueloopz - Thursday 26-Nov-2015

Copied from my thread in the Armoured Cavalry Forums

This is a photo heavy thread (my apologies)

I have been working on this build for the past few months, it's a little different to other AT-AT driver builds you may have seen on this forum but I think it is worth while sharing.

Although most of the AT-AT Greebles are readily available, I have had to make most of them for this build myself .. many are not exactly right but I ask that before you make a judgement you finish looking at all the photos and you will understand why.

Armour from a supplier that has only recently added TIE/AT-AT armour to their range, and this is the first one built to AT-AT specifications

Because this essentially a TIE kit there weren't many of the Greebles that I could use so I had to make my own

These were made prior to finding the Sony Tape deck buttons so I built them the "Old Fashion" way

Canisters were made from PVC Pipe size adapters glued together

The Decals didn't come with the kit, so I had them printed on Vinyl

I can't show more without giving it away so ...

The final product ...

This is Archer my 4 (nearly 5) year old son .. who now can Troop as an AT-AT driver with Daddy Smile

The Kit didn't come with Shoulder Bells so I made some out of some TB bells I had spare

And How happy was he about it being finished? This says it all Smile

RE: The little AT-AT Project I've been working on - Cyclops - Friday 27-Nov-2015

Thing of awesomeness means people take notice of your skill , this armor build and the fabrication of cast components is fantastic , kayles already had enquiries from the U.S. about the flight suit and gloves .


RE: The little AT-AT Project I've been working on - Cueloopz - Friday 27-Nov-2015

Yep looks like Kayle's flight suits and gloves are going to be in demand, and I'll be casting some mini greebles
Each Mini AT-AT is going to have it's fair share of RGB content Smile

It's also got Archer an Honorary membership into the Armoured Cavalry Detachment .. He'll be sporting his patch this weekend Smile
