3DAt-at

Given all of the terrific reference available today (thanks Jedilaw!), I've been updating my AT-AT. When I first started the model about 5 years ago there wasn't nearly as much good reference available as there is today, and it showed. Here's where the new legs are:

More to come!

    Another great Star Wars model from you ! :thumb: I have a feeling that they seem a bit bulkier than usual but I'm not a perfect person to talk about that :p Everything looks solid and that's what matters. BTW is this a completely new model or are there parts from 5 years back ?

    It looks great Terry. But then again if you made something it would be impossible to look otherwise. How far along are you on this so far? And can we look forward to see an animation when you're finished? Possibly with that dead-on Scout Walker of yours thrown in as well for good messure?

    Take it easy man.

    what reference are you using? I've done one of these myself (from what I thought was one of the models used in the movie), and certain parts have turned out different to yours

    looks great!

    From where you got the reference images? They are not available from 3DSciFi anymore:(

    maybe there is another place to get them?

    Thanks all!

    @somacruz145: It's a completely new build, I'm not even referring to the old one - it didn't quite have the right proportions and I had made some terrible modelling decisions to which I'll never confess. :)

    @BolianAdmiral: Thanks, much appreciated!

    @Road Warrior: Thank you, it's moving right along, I've got the head and the body roughed in, and I'm working on detailing the body now. Animation is definitely in the cards - I rigged and animated the earlier version so I've got it mostly worked out. Like the AT-ST, the rig was deceptively complex, given the rotation and compression of the foot, for example. I think that I posted this example in another thread somewhere:

    AT-AT Walk Example

    @IRML: It becomes clear very quickly that there are a lot of differences between the various shooting models of the AT-AT (even amongst the same scale), and that some were articulate while others were solid casts. I'm using a bunch of sources for reference material, including my own photographs and pages like this one:

    AT-AT Studio Model

    I try to be very careful when using photographs for reference in order to avoid accidentally building any photographic phenomena into the model.

    @ChrisGFX: Thank you! Have a look at the reference page above, and just search around the net for other stuff. The Star Wars Chronicles book was helpful as well.

    @aylaa12: Thank you!

    @Ice-Dragon: Thanks!

    @Wiz: Cheers!

    Coming along nicely there stonky. And damn, that link is a mighty fine resource for anyone wanting to try their hand at an AT-AT, not to mention the other studio models they have pics of.

    WOW ... Great ref material! Thank you very much.

    The walk animation is cool too :)

    you picked a better model than I did for your reference, it has quite a lot more detail than my one

    Thanks all, you're too kind. :) I've got some more finished, I'll post some more images shortly. It's amazing how you can look at something for almost thirty years and then be completely surprised by how little you knew about it when you really start to pour over the details.

    @IRML - you've been holding out on us, let's see some AT-AT renders. :)

    Thank you!

    I've been crazy busy at work recently, so progress has been slow, but not stopped:

    Thought it must have been a necro. I'm glad to see I was wrong. Nice to see you update this one stonky - keep at it.
