AT-AP & Dagger Landpeeder MOCs

[pedro]

Hey everyone,

After seeing some nice set alternatives a while back - and after KimT suggesting I give it a try - I went for it with a couple of my recent sets! I bought 2 Clone Walker Battle Packs on release and an Assassin Droid Battle Pack, so decided to build using those.

AT-AP

As the Clone Wars escalated, the Republic military built up their ground forces with newer, more versatile models of walking battlefield armor. This two-legged model, dubbed the pod attack walker, featured artillery cannons and a third retractable leg used for stability during long-range weapons firing. Clone trooper drivers piloted this walker model in such heated campaigns as those found on Kashyyyk and Felucia.

I used 2 x 8014s to build this as I happened to have bought 2. No doubt with an extra set I could refine the folded middle leg a little, but I wanted to keep restricted to using only the parts available in the 2 sets.

Serratto FAS-2 'Dagger' Landspeeder

Serrato, a weapons and repulsorlift manufacturing company, pledged alliegance to the CIS during the Clone Wars and produced several dedicated skimmers during that time. The FAS-2 Dagger is a fast assault landspeeder with sleek laser deflecting fairing, two high performance thrusters and armed with two powerful laser lances. Chiefly deployed on missions requiring surgical strikes, fast assault, covert ops and often piloted by assassin droids whose combat ability would serve to enhance the effectiveness of the Dagger.

I created this tinkering with 8015. I also created a 2 manned version but haven't photo'd it.

The AT-AP is amazing !

Looks like a mini version.

[Future74]

Both are awesome builds!

The AT-AP is really accurate, even shapewise and that from two battlepacks, amazing! Buy a third BP and make it complete!

Looking forward to those!

That AT-AP is the best alternitive I've ever seen! It's gorgeous, and even better, you used only two battlepack sets! :thumbup: Two thumbs up! Edited April 22, 2009 by Spyder

Wow, The AT-AP is a cool alternative model.

[Artizan]

wow great builds i think i am falling in love with that at-ap!

[ILikePi]

I believe that these belong in the Battle Pack Alternatives topic.

Considering the limited parts you had, these look amazing.

If only I had two of a battle pack...

[prateek]

I like the AT-AP it looks just like a mini version of the real thing

[DualDisorder]

Nicely done on both, but I'm really loving the AT-AP. Looks pretty genuine. Amazing work man.

[def]

Those are both fantastic, I think I'll give the Dagger Landspeeder a try. And you photos are flawless

[L-space]

Wow, I really like the Dagger Landspeeder. It this going fast standing still.

Very nice design you did on that one.

This is the stuff TLC could have persuaded me to get into PT and CW.

[RileyC]

really like the at ap. You could even call it a midi scale!

[pedro]

Thanks for the all positive comments guys, really glad you like my efforts

I believe that these belong in the Battle Pack Alternatives topic.

Ah, I hadn't realised there was a topic on alternates... it must have been hiding in the depths of the forum somewhere

This is the stuff TLC could have persuaded me to get into PT and CW.

With all the creativity around EB, there's still a chance I'm sure!

really like the at ap. You could even call it a midi scale!

Come to think of it, yeah! It seems to be around the right size.

[Commander Assassin]

Great AT-AP! not sure how much I like the landspeeder though. Don't really like the split down the middle.

[KimT]

A midi-scaled AT-AP

Great work pedro.

Amazing what you can do with just a couple of BP's

That sure shows that it's not the amount of bricks that makes a great MOC'er

[DoctorDude234]

Not to sound like a noob, but does the AT-AP alternate fit a minifig?

That is amazing, btw.

[pedro]

Great AT-AP! not sure how much I like the landspeeder though. Don't really like the split down the middle.

Aye, the split is pretty much unavoidable unfortunately and especially with such limited parts.

Not to sound like a noob, but does the AT-AP alternate fit a minifig?

Perfectly valid question, not noobish at all! No, there's not enough room inside... it's filled out with hinge bricks and other parts to support the hull.

Cheers for the further comments! And thanks for frontpaging this KimT... got a bit of a surprise when I came on earlier

You're welcome.

There's so many things I'd love to frontpage within the Star Wars forum, but I can't do it all since that'll clutter the frontpage.

I saw an opening and posted this great alternate topic.

Hopefully I'll find spots to frontpage more of the great stuff you guys post here

[Millacol88]

Excellent, Pedro. The AT-AP is surprisingly accurate considering it was made with such a limited parts selection.

[baby]

Perhaps you might want to show us how is the inside. I got no idea how to fix it.

[CommanderCody77]

A sweet looking AT-AP!

This is a great way of making dioramas!

You just buy lots of battlepacks and turn them into AT-AP's!

Now on to the Dagger Landspeeder,

I think this much nicer than the lame-ish Assassin battlepack

These MOC's are awesome!

Keep on making awesome MOC's!

I'll see if I can take a couple of photos for you

Thanks!

Here you go!

Right interior. See the 2 x 2 bley plate on the hinge bricks? That's where you attach the front hull panel. The dark bley hinge plate clip is where you attach the side hull panels.

Left interior. Note the single cone underneath the hinge brick - it's important as it adds a lot of stability to the hinge bricks.

Front hull panel. Make sure this is built completely before attaching by the dark bley modded plate to the 2 x 2 plate on the front hinge bricks. It's best to attach the front hull panel before adding the side hull panels.

Side hull panels. These clip on as above.

Hope that helps

Yup, this really helps. Thanks again.
