Bandai AT-ST

[Cash]

You are faster than speedy gonzales Scott. Painting and weathering starting soon?

 

[Junkie]

Thanks for the interest. Still have a bit to get done before primer...should be painting next week.

Just wondering about dioramas again Scott,...because this kit comes with a base & figures would this be classed as a dio?

J

 

[Junkie]

According to our rules yes it would have to be.

 

[Jaitea]

Are you gonna go full dio...or leave an element out and enter it as Sci-fi?

J

 

[Junkie]

My plan is to take some pics for sci-fi then move forward with a diorama.

 

[Jaitea]

Cool.....Lovely AT-AT BTW

[Junkie]

Thank you! Good practice for this AT-ST and to get the 'rust out' of the mancave.

 

[cargoman5126]

BILL PAXTON WAS AN AT-ST PILOT??

 

[Unreality]

Game over man, GAME OVER !!

Great pics by the way. I am noticing these all have (or seem to have) a side-opening top hatch.

BILL PAXTON WAS AN AT-ST PILOT??

What he said!!!

 

[nicholassagan]

I checked his IMDB and if he WAS the pilot, he went uncredited...

 

[Jaitea]

Thats Richard Marquand.......the puppet Director of Return of the Jedi,....with the puppeteer

The other pilot/driver was Robert Watts, the Producer

Cameos

Neat work man

Chris.

 

[Junkie]

Great pics!

[ArturM]

Looks great! I really like this kit and hope to make it in near future.
Can't wait to see it painted! ;D

Cheers

[Junkie]

Thanks. Can't wait to paint it....should be shooting primer this weekend.

Last night I actually did shoot primer, interior. I used Mr. Hobby Dissolved Putty to fill in all the gaps and also snipped off all the locator pins so this thing is now fully posable - thanks to Unreality for the tutorial.

I assembled the rest of the kit and drilled out the head rivet detail and rocket launcher. Looking at these pics I see it still needs a tiny bit of cleanup.

Thanks for watching.

 

[nicholassagan]

YEAH bring it.

You know....It would be kinda cool if someone started coming up with aftermarket weapon variants different side guns, comm packs, chin guns....you know, all the fun stuff that makes armor fun!

 

[Junkie]

True, that would be cool. Thanks man.

 

[Dark Kyp]

true!
Long time ago, I se one with a machine gun!

 

[adampolo13]

Boom!

 

[Cash]

That is a killer. Nice primer

 

[Grendels]

Nice, between yours and Unreality, I am getting a good look at this kit.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Glad to see this getting the paint on! And I'm going to have to remember the locator pins trick!

 

[Bizarre]

great progress!

 

[MrNatural]
