[MOC] Steampunk AT-RT (Moodland Scale)

[M<0><0<DSWIM]

So, looking at the Steampunk Star Wars mocs I've built, I realized I never made a model in Moodland (or slightly larger than Miniland) scale.

This is loosely based on my Moodland scale AT-RT from a year ago, but, obviously, Steampunkified!

Here's a close-up of the controls.

I REALLY obsessed over adding as much detail as possible and adding detail to every part.

And, of course, a parting rear shot.

Apart from this thing not being poseable, because of the skeletal design of the legs, I'm really proud of this and consider it one of my best builds. What do you guys think?

Wow great moc, I love how use use the gears and chains !. I also love the trooper.

[Bob De Quatre]

Wow it's so full of details

The use of wooden chains on metal gears is quite unique

I'm not fan of this "scale", but your work is always amazing

[Mr Man]

Well the legs look functional here, the chains and rams seem like they could work in real life .

I thought they were copper or something.

Ah yes, copper... for me in steampunk MOC brown=wood... but it could be copper...

I think you've done exceptionally well in this steampunk MOC not just at integrating the steampunk machinery that looks like it could work, but in a smaller vehicle like the AT-RT, you've interpreted shapes of the ‘real’ vehicle as themselves being steampunk machinery. The smokestacks instead of antenna (which could be a little taller, almost like on Mississippi paddle steamboats, but still genius), the boiler has the side vents in the same place as the ‘real’ AT-RT has ribbing (though I’m not sure I would want to sit directly on top of the black metal of the boiler ), the Gatling gun instead of the repeating blaster cannon. And I love the use of lots of hoses and pistons, the perfect way to steampunkify the way this walker is able to move.

Thanks! That's the main thing I try to achieve: make it look like it could work in real life.

Thanks, Doc, and thanks for blogging this! I agree, in retrospect, I could've made the smokestacks taller. The most fun of this was taking aspects of the "real" walker and turning those parts into Steampunky bits like you pointed out.

Really nice steampunk design :thumbup:

I would not be suprised if legoland used a similar design in their star wars miniland model collection. This moc is a greatway to show how specially designed bricks for certain sets can be repurposed in even more creative ways.

one of the best mocs I ever saw, and i seen a lot of mocs

Thanks! I guess I do tend to use a bit of specialty parts. I would be quite flattered if Lego used a similar design for their Miniland set up.

Another great build MOOD! Once again you’ve taken a vehicle I find boring and made it interesting Steampunk style! I love how the trooper looks so natural riding on it. You’ve created some nice details in him as well. I do agree that the smokestacks should be higher though, even with the wonderful job you’ve done on his mask, I keep thinking if the wind changes he’s going to get a face full of smoke.

Thanks, dude! Ha! Looking at the pics now, I agree: I should've made the smokestacks higher. Oh well. Maybe if I build a V2.

Thanks! That's quite the compliment.

I'm loving all those little details! You've done an excellent job capturing the AT-RT in Steam Punk form.

Thanks! I feel like I have a knack for Steampunk, especially walkers.
