It's been a bit since I've posted any updates, so I thought I would do so now. I haven't done a whole lot of actual construction since my last post. I've been busy with cutting the detail pieces out for the legs and body and getting them prepared for installation (glueing the main pieces onto...

Thanks for the compliments, Bowdenja. I like that shot a lot, also. Geedubbya, you'd be really surprised at the total cost of this project. The parts were originally spread out over seven (7) 22"x28" sheets of plain white poster board that I purchased at my local Hobby Lobby for $0.25 each...

Here's the latest and greatest pictures. It's still not done, as I have decided to add about 50 additional pieces to the model. The majority of the pieces are to add more detail and texture. I've added the pieces to one leg as well as the "band" around the neck. I think it really helps to...

I got too engulfed in building this monster and forgot to take pictures as I went along. So, the pictures I have for today show a LOT of progress. After looking at the nearly completed model and watching The Empire Strikes Back as I was building (for inspiration, of course), I've decided to do...

I found some time last night and this morning to do a bit of work to the AT-AT. I've got the shell of the body glued, as well as the other three feet and one entire leg. This thing is really starting to take shape. The leg stands at least 12" high. It is jointed in three places...at the foot...

Yeah, but I can't fit pieces of the refridgerator box through my plotter! :lol: As promised, here are a couple of shots of my revised foot. The build was much better this time around. I think partially due to the fact that I was more aware of how all the pieces went together, but having...

Yep, I'm a Greg, too. I knew I liked you for some reason! :lol:

Thanks, Greg. I'm really anxious to get this thing finished so I can see how big it's really going to be. I've already gone in and revised the parts for the feet. I discovered that there was as much as .2" difference between arc lengths between two parts that were SUPPOSED to match up...

After taking the plans for the AT-AT and digitizing them in AutoCAD, I felt like I had a clean enough base to start my project. The parts are sorted over 7 22"x28" sheets of posterboard and each sheet was printed on a 36" wide inkjet plotter. I got all of the sheets printed last night and...
