Guess whos back......back again.....

Whatever works! :)
this is very true - i think when it comes to builds we all have our own little mods/hacks that we use to make the models strong and stable lol - tbh when so much effort goes into design, refinement and ofc the builds that people create, its a shame to lose something when its all done - everyone's work deserves long lasting homes and appreciation :toast:
 
Well, here we are, after a final push the ATST is pretty much done, ready to move on to part 2 of this build. BUT before that happens, heres a few pics of the finished article - 1st pic is to show some of the detailing put onto the leg tops to flesh them out a bit. i used laminating from spare copies, to add some extra detail to the the top end of the legs then used a cpl straws, small cocktail sticks and wire for the 'piston/rods' running down to the leg joint. Again bits of tidying, painting over with acrylic markers and its pretty much done - im sure theres more to add yet but as it stands the main work is done. SO with that out of the way ive prepared the basic display base that the diorama is going on, using an emulsion paint lid, card and foam board. I fixed the AT ST to the base so i could take a few pics of the finished thing. Overall the build was great, theres numerous options for greeblying up as much as you like - the pose choices are amazing and you could be forgiven for thinking this is an animators model. Awesome stuff :BRAVO: RF knocked it out of the park. So enjoy the pics, ill be posting up part 2 (the diorama build) soon. :biggrin:

Thanks all for your kind words, the build turned out really well, but it was a great kit to put together even without the greeblification - a nice model all round that you can do loads with if you really wanted to. Now its all done and dried its just bits of house keeping and on to the diorama (which will be a new thread) so more to come yet. Heres a last few gratuitous ATST pics.
Cheers all for the encouragement! :toast:
