[MOC] AT-ST

[DarthPineapple]

Hi!

The AT-ST has always been a personal favorite of mine due to it's intriguing design. It's an extremely complicated model to design in LEGO, the boxy head has many very shallow angles and the thin legs need to be carefully designed to support the walker too.

I've never been satisfied with any of the official LEGO versions and attempted to design my own several times already. While I was initially happy with my previous version, the steep angles on the head and relatively bulky, short legs were not accurate enough. Thus I redesigned my model again, starting completely from scratch and utilizing completely different techniques. I've spent many many incountable hours on my new model, taking inspiration from many of the AT-ST models out there at the moment and I'm pretty proud of the end result. The model has an interior and is fully posable - I hope the real brickbuild model will be able to support its own weight!

 

Enjoy and suggestions are of course welcome!

This looks absolutely fantastic!  Looking forward to seeing photos of the brick built model.

Many thanks! Yes I'm looking forward to building it but first I will need to gather all the required parts.

Looks nice! I like it.

Aren't the legs a bit to short tho?

Looks amazing and well done !!

Thanks! I'm pretty sure they're scaled rather accurately, why do you think otherwise?

Looks great! Can't wait to see it made with real bricks

[Azani]

All in all, it looks incredible, man! Quite a fan of the design of the lower legs and the hips.

[DarthPineapple]

Many thanks to the both of you! :)

I think they're scaled accurately, but in your first photo it's awkwardly posed. The head on and profile shots of the rendering make it clear it's pretty much to scale (while I think the TLG ones have weird proportions), but in that first photo it looks like it's squatting. Very nice model - any instructions?

[TemjinStrife]

Interested to see how stable/durable it is in real bricks!

[Glassjaw]

Huge fan of the AT-ST, I'm loving the design of the interior, I don't know why TLG don't design it with two seats.

 

Looking forward to the solid version, for now I'll settle for modifying the Rogue One version!

Thanks everyone! If you're interested in instructions - send me a personal message.

@DarthPineapple Hello. Sorry for posting on this so long after the last post. I just wanted to say I really love your work. I wanted to send you a personal message to ask for instructions not only for your fantastic AT-ST but also your TX-225 GAVw "Occupier". I want to apologize once again for posting instead of sending you a message. I only made an account here to send you a message. Unfortunately, Eurobricks wants me to post so many before I can message someone as a new member. Once again, you work is fantastic. I can't wait to see what you make next.

i really like all those lines

Really cool design! Can't wait to see it being brickbuilt, Stefan!
