Bandai AT-ST

[Junkie]

Thanks guys. A bit of progress on this which is nothing more than sanding down all the areas that I puttied and put the legs back together. It is now fully pose-able.

As you can see it will stand on it's own two feet.

I accidently broke a 'tensioner' and have to glue it tight to the back of the leg. I can either replace these both or simply choose a stance that will work with what I have here.

And finally, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I'd appreciate any comments on what I should do about the tensioners. Unreality did a great job with brass - I don't have any onhand...maybe just some strip styrene? Thanks for watching.

Really GREAT!

Great update Scott. The two Bandai ATST builds are pretty awesome. Looks like a really fun kit.

And finally, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

LOL ;D Looks like it's pulling a move out of a '70s disco movie...

Looking great. I would replace the tension bits once you get it into the pose you want.

 

[Junkie]

Thanks guys. It's a fun little project for sure.

If this is accurate than the kit tensioners are much too short.

Scott it's looking good. That LightWorks ref isn't quite right...some of the proportions are off, too.

Nice job Scott!

Your first pic would be a great pose!

Looking great dude!

also came across this

Very cool. I believe the smart money is to have an Imperial Driver out of the hatch like that...very cool - wish I had though of it actually.

I on the other hand have the cabin painted and the head completely closed up. I didn't spend much time on the interior because it will never be seen...again.

When attaching the top of the head I had a rather craptastic seam (indicated by the orange line). I thinned some Mr. Dissolved Putty with Laquer Thinner and flowed a tiny amount into the seam. Fixed.

More Mr. Dissolved Putty added to the legs, I'll let this dry overnight. (Jaitea's wheel fix looks much better than this method IMO).

And parts that are 100% ready for primer.

 

[Unreality]

Very nice work Scott. I need to get back to work on mine soon.

 

[nicholassagan]

Oh man that's looking great!!!

The more you guys do the more you inspire me. I'm even thinking some red lights in the cabin would be cool....

Hahaha OR a Fury/AT-ST mashup!!!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Ha ha Fury AT ST 8)
Scott your killing it dude.

 

[Quaralane]

Nicely done, Scott.
I like the way each of these is taking on a life of its own

 

[Chris S]

[kiwi gav]

Great detail on the build. Think I might have to re-visit this thread when I start mine.

Yes I have seen, but I have no AT ST kit because it + too little time at the moment.

 

[Cash]

Sweet update Scott.

 

[Deere_driver]

Coming along nicely! Thanks for the tip on the Mr. Dissolved Putty.

 

[Junkie]

Thanks for the comments guys. This one will simmer on the back burner while I build the Apache but I'll be back to it soon enough.

 

[TRM]

Well done so far Scott!! Still dig this stuff....even though I have not had the chance to have a go yet!! I would just end up "wrecking it" anyway...LOL!! Dig seeing the primer on brotha!! Looking forward to your return to this!! ;D

 

[nicholassagan]
