Ras 74 asked me in the "2010 news and rumours" topic to start a topic about my AT-AT. First I have to say sorry Ras, it took a bit long. First I had to create a Brickshelf account, but today I made some pictures.

I built it almost completely from new gray parts. I tried to use the old colours only if there was no other option.

It took about 9-10 mounths to finish it, because I wanted it as cheap as possible (but only with "new" parts!). If I remember correctly, it costed for me around 80-90$, but without the printed parts. As you can see, I used 4 other slopes instead of the printed head piece, and plain dishes on the legs. That made it more cheaper, but I think, it still looks good. :)

I hope You can compare it with the new one, and I can help you all, weather to buy the new one or not. (Or maybe build it from BL like I did. :))

I started another "from Bricklink" set building. It is the 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon. :)

I have about 8-900 parts already, but I think it will take about 1,5-2 years. My goal would be Christmas, but I think it is totally hopeless.

(But if You guys have some parts you don't need, just send it to me! :D)

p.s.: Sorry for my english! :)

Very nice 'pkp' - it looks like it just came straight out of the factory !

Great work and I'm a conformist! !

Very nice. I wish that I could get the old AT-AT but, I just don't have the money. Again great mod on this really great set.

It looks great and you hit it right on the head, and it looks good in the new grey.
