Build Your Own Plus Size AT-AT

[Mamma Mia Bricks]

 The official pics for the First Order walker are out.

@Raskolnikov is it in your plans at all once the movie comes out to give it a try to do the same thing, and make it plus size?

I'm not sold on the FO Walker... something about it seems off to me... a plus sized variant however might be appealing

Too many studs!  It seems all of Lego's AT-AT versions were built and designed by a 10 year old.  That's how my 7 and 10 year old build their "MOC's."  The FO star destroyer is the same way.

Seriously? You've never even posted on this topic before at all, but you come on just to correct me?

Yes, seriously.

Please note, I am an unpaid, volunteer moderator on this site and it is literally my job to tell people to stay on topic.

We have rules here on Eurobricks and one of them is to not argue with staff.  Because you appear to be relatively new to the forum, I chose to give a general and very polite reminder on this topic. 

Please stay on topic, please do not argue with staff.

I agree. The FO walker looks off, and though I'm glad we're finally getting a finalizer, the arrangement of smooth plates makes the whole surface look messy. Also, I don't know why it's so hard to just keep DBG things off the exterior of Empire and FO vehicles that are completely LBG on the outside.

Nah, probably not.  Although I like Episode VII well enough, I'm mostly an original trilogy guy.  I have liked some of the First Order stuff, though, so who knows what I'll be interested in making after Ep. VIII or IX come out.

Glad I'm not the only one that  feels TLJ SETS and FO sets are just not right. They look like a mess poorly done !!

[Richpepperell]

It's my Raskolnikov AT-AT that's putting me off the heavy walker - it'll just look puny and not particularly heavy next to it!

I think LEGO is starting to shy away from making the sets look nice and making them more playable. They will get more money from younger children than older collectors is my bet. There was a short period of time after they had enough parts to make it look nice and before they were only concerned with revenue, where there was a good balance between playable sets and accurate sets, and several that were both, like the Tantive IV.

[Mamma Mia Bricks]

Exactly why so many people are unhappy with how it looks I was hoping in another Rasko masterpiece.

[H_Solo]

I think I found a viable solution to the small feet... as I'm in the building process right now and still wait for some parts to arrive I'll post some pictures of my approach to the AT-AT asap.

[caperica]

Just so everyone who was curious knows, Raskolnikov's "smaller," instructionalized Star Destroyer "Aggressor" is now out on Eurobricks and Rebrickable.

No problem!

And yeah, it'll definitely be a journey.  If you or someone else is interested in making a parts list, I'm sure that would be a big help.

Upload the ldd file onto rebrickable.

Sayyy... There's a ldd file right?

A parts list is available here.  
(And building instructions are here)

All the reason to do more mocs

I'm very keen to see this mate :)

Hi!

There is someone who wants to build plus-size AT-M6 First Order Heavy Assault Walker?

Someone will need to design one first. Possibly even larger then this plus-size one! Though, that might make the build difficult...

Potential TLJ spoiler picture. 

Oh it's definitely bigger. If someone would build this with instructions I would be over the moon. Too bad I'm not a great of a builder myself :p

I have the 75054 but I'm willing to disassemble it for this beast. Does all the parts of the 75054 are used in this one?

So, I finally finished the build.

Thanks a lot to Raskolnikov for making this possible!

Now for the new feet:

And some more detailed shots for you to re-built it:

I also used a 7l strut-piece in pearl silver and re-built the inner ankles of the feet:

better sized pictures

[Kozikyo86]

I'm trying to build First Order AT-M6 in PlusSize, but slowly I think it's over my strength Below are the initial versions of the front leg (in LDD)...

 

[roadstermatt]

love the look of this AT-AT I think I will be doing this in the new year what with my UCS Falcon on the way

 

and a UCS Sandcrawler sat waiting for me for Christmas

but contemplating doing it in Black for my death troopers

@H_Solo That's a good looking mod to the feet. A lot of people have suggested modding them, but I think this may be the first time I've seen it done.

I've thought about doing something similar, i.e., inserting one brick in between the macaroni bricks and using an 8x8 dish, but the price of those 8x8 lbg dishes is fairly annoying. Also, I'd want to increase the size of the ankles above them somehow, and that presents its own issues. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

@Kozikyo86 Good luck on your gorilla walker, looks like a decent start to me.

Sounds interesting, any precedent for that in the universe?
