How stable are the legs on it?

Let's say they hold for the camera. I'd put it on a table but not on a high shelf or with pets around.

I've made several display stands and they work well, only they're kinda intrusive. I was thinking of buying a metal one like they used for the movies, one heavy & solid enough to hold the thing from further in the back. I don't think that could be done with Lego. Would be cool to hold it in a pose like on my signature. On one leg like that, it definitely can't hold alone that's for sure. The high-friction joints & the first knee joint are solid but they have their limit.

Another year another version, with a little more non-Lego parts (like those very handy 1x1 bracket plates that I wish Lego had made).
Since I'm now using wedge tiles, I decided to add that extra plate thickness in the back, it looked too thick when I was using wedge plates, but with tiles it's ok. Same thing with the chin's lip.

I decided to put it in the pose I had used for a 3D render last yearn, but obviously it wouldn't have standed by itself on just one leg, so I added the rocky base, onto which it's pinned.

(also changed the interior a lot again, but didn't take pictures)

Did the stone get smashed?

It looks good, but I cannot forgive the use of custom parts. That's a definite, indisputable no no in my book. A holy commandment.

Already 4.5? Damn.. good looking. Do you plan 100% LEGO version?

I know, I used to be a purist too.
But now it has become a game, hunting for special parts, just as I was hunting for rare/not in set Lego parts/recolors.

I know this forum is a couple of years old, but I just stumbled across this moc online and I have absolutely fell in love with it ever since I saw it. I wanted to ask if there was any instructions available for the AT-ST or the stand?

I didn't build it myself (yet), but as far as I know, the latest versions of the instructions are here:

There are 2 stands in my instructions, but the latest version doesn't have instructions, and thus the "rock" stand isn't there either.

I've moved away from pure Lego, and I don't think that Rebrickable would welcome instructions that absolutely require non-Lego parts now (not counting that it's harder to build instructions when non-Lego parts aren't available in virtual).
I've changed the design again btw, I still need to take new pictures.

However the rock isn't using any non-Lego mould, only one or two recolors I believe, and it's compatible with all versions, so maybe I should build instructions for it alone.
