[MOC] AT-RT first design

[HJR-Holland]

So when epIII came out (many moons ago) there was quite a difference between the initial designs and what finally came into the movie *cough* flying catamarans *cough* and one of the big changes was that of the AT-RT. This was what it was supposed to look like:

But in the end we ended up with this in the movie:

However, at the very start of the design process, designer TJ frame made a design with a closed cockpit, which is my favourite version of this vehicle:

And thus decided to make a LEGO model based on this version of the vehicle:

And in case you are wondering: yes, it realy stands on two 2x2 studs and yes, that does mean that gravity is a myth ;-)

For more images of this creation, please check it here. I've recently had the time and patience to put some of my work on camera recently, so you'll see more of my work in the coming weeks / months.

What an interesting design, I was never aware of this! Cool idea for a MOC based purely off the initial concept art!

That is really cool! I never knew that the At-Rt was like this before! Great job! I love the use of pieces for the cockpit .

Thanks for the feedback :-) I have a lot more vehicles planned from the initial designs of various vehicles (Millennium Falcon, X-wing, Y-wing, AT-AT etc.)

Very nice rendering of this initial design of the AT-RT.

And such an original idea, congrats. ;)

Did I hear "AT-AT?"

Nice work on the AT-RT! I always thought that it was a another walker itself—the design reminds me of the AT-XT!

Really cool!
