Bricklinking Cavegod's UCS AT-AT

[Kristof]

Regarding that dish, I suspect these sellers buy them from B&P directly from lego. Unfortunately that means these are always out of stock in LBG. Otherwise lego price those at about 1€ ...

To you who have built this one - how sturdy is it once the legs are connected? Any risk of falling over or just spontaneously collapsing from its own weight?

Also: Without putting any MOC to shame - which is the most accurate out of this and Jhaelon's AT-AT? I love the latter, and bought most of the pieces for it. But I'm not sure I like the front part of the body. Is it me or is it a few studs too short?

Once stood up it will stand forever, it will fall if knocked even with the leg mod.

I found that it was unstable from twisting in the lower frame, made some small stiffening modifications and it's rock solid and will stand "as CAVEGOD said"... forever.

I couldn't find it anywhere. What are the dimensions of the built AT-AT? Like height and width (as accurate as possible). I'm curious if there exists an IKEA shelf that can hold this.

Also, what are the modifications people have done, to increase stability? Is it fine with just the technic bricks in the legs or does it "need" other things as well?

I mean no disrespect to Cavegod - this is an amazing build for sure - but to be fair, it's pushing 10 years soon and I'm sure there are newer pieces that could improve the look (not that it's needed) and stability today. So I'm hoping for a "version 2" some day. :)
