AT-TE and LAAT-C 1/250th scale by Dmitriy Dobranovskiy

[micahrogers]

The back turrets are done, 2 topside on angled housings, which you have to edge glue to form, or use strips added inside, and two round bubble turrets on the underside.

next are the legs and feet... more small cones to make, ohh joy.

Sometimes really small models, well, they look like crap, people use too heavy or thick paper. Your model looks great!! Nice and symmetric.

 

[micahrogers]

Only paper I have is 20# copy paper, and some 67# sheet stock. This model was printed on the 67# stock. so far, no problems caused by paper thickness.

Started at 9 AM, took a break to go to the store around noon, and just finished... got the feet and legs attached to the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer.

 

[micahrogers]

The plans include a small section in the top right of page one, called "additional parts" knuckles for the legs, armor plates, and gun faces, so they intended some greebeling.

 

[micahrogers]

So far I have added the 4 small armor plates to the belly section, and the large two knuckles to the large center legs. I'll get the rest added tomorrow.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

This looks really good thus far!

 

[micahrogers]

I added the extra pieces to the legs and front turrets of the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer. I don't know if they can even be seen in these pictures.


I'll try playing around with the camera settings of my new Note 20 Ultra, it's supposed to have some truly great camera capabilities. But I'm a Noob when it comes to camera stuff.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

It looks really good!!!

 

[Revell-Fan]

Nice little bug!

 

[Revell-Fan]

Hah, you might be laughing. However, I guarantee, if the Trade Federation had had some of THESE



the Clone Wars surely would have ended differently..!

:Grin:

 

[mijob]

Indeed a nice bug, thank god it's only one.....

 

[micahrogers]

I have enough bugs in my house, the wifes Gecko's eat live bugs, so she keeps Dubia roaches, mealworms, and superworms...

 

[micahrogers]

Nothing like going to the pet supply store, that your pest control guy recommends, and asking for 100 Dubia roaches, 60 mealworms, and 30 superworms, to feed 5 leopard geckos for a month...
But I got started on the LAAT-C, pieces 1,2,3A and B, Right and Left. 6 pieces so far to get to the last pic...


the "instructions" are just 4 line drawings with piece number call outs, but no exploded views, so I am just guessing how to fold these.

 

[micahrogers]

I got the lower side pieces added, had a minor accident while waiting for glue to dry on the wing lamination, was mixing base sealer for D&D dungeon tiles, and had some of the sealer spill, luckily none got on this model or the parts sheet.

It turns out, that most of the assembly follows part numbers, but still, ya gotta figure out how to fold things yourself. I found no "fold lines" per say on the sheets, and I extrapolated the fold lines, from the tab locations, missed once so far...

Since the D&D dungeon tiles are just foam-core and foam stock, I'll start a different thread for them under "other materials"

This model came out great.. If you add in how small it is, it's almost unbelievable. I am very impressed (not that my impression means anything means anything) but I am. I have Bratwurst fingers. That model would get lost under my fingernail!!

 

[micahrogers]

Thanks John, I have sausage fingers, ring size 13 1/2, but I have small tweezers

 

[mijob]

that looks good. What kind of bug is this...:Grin:

 

[micahrogers]

everything is done, except the mating of the AT-TE to the belly of the LAAT-C. If I had some tiny magnets, I could have made the two separable. Alas I will have to glue them together. last pic shows how they sit now, "clamps" glued to the 'shoulders' of the AT-TE, and 'arms' ready to be assembled around them.





I truly suck at making small cone shaped pieces, small cylinders, I can roll around a dowel, but cones??? Ohh well.

It's an All Terrain Tactical Enforcer type bug... small six legged thing.
