Here you have our first project now in progress. We've been trying hard to find an appropiate model of one of our most beloved vehicles but, after a long debate, we've finally decide to build it from scratch.
May be it's not perfect, but we are working on it with all our care and dedication.
We are pleased to show you an advance of out AT-AT 1/48 Imperial Walker which, in a few weeks time, will be finished. It comes with some details 3D-designed, such as the belly central piece and the main cannons, which are ment to be retractables and simulate real laser shots.
As always, we'd appreciate very much any contribution during the process.
Cheers!!
UPDATE 1
The model is almost finished, but we're still trying to figure out how build the few final details. In the pictures, you can see the Allen screws we used to join the legs and the belly. We haven't decided whether to make molds with or without them yet.
The two main central parts were made from 1/24 Harrier engines and 1/144 Saturn V pieces in the original model. For our 1/48 model we can't used them because they seemed to be a bit large, so we had to designed them using 3D Studio Max.
We made progress with the head, it's not finished yet because we need to use some extra putty and sandpaper in roder to make it perfect, but at least you should appreciate how it could look like finally.
We are pretty happy of how it's finally looking. We have to work on the interior parts after finishing the head, and the side cannons will be our last challenge.
Hope you like it.
Cheers!!
