AT-ST

[Splashcoat]

Here are a few photos of my take on the old AMT Snap-Tite 1/48 model of the Imperial All-Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST), a.k.a., "Chicken Walker". The kit was built basically straight-from-the-box; my alterations consisted of fabricating the top handrail with metal pins and wire, cutting out the closed view port covers and re-attaching them in an open position, adding more accurate armor to the sides of the main body (the kit is molded with solid sides), replacing the gun barrels with metal tube and replacing the right-hand missile launcher with the front section of a 1/72 scale rocket pod. Okay, maybe it’s not that straight-from-the-box.

You would be amazed what replacing the hips and a little more detail tweaking can do.

I need to know where to find those hooks that the rail attach to the cabin.

I made mine out of sheet styrene based on the studio scale parts. My model is the same MPC/Ertl kit that the original poster made.

Great job Splashcoat - you've really polished that kit into a beauty! Great groundwork too. I really love it.
