Damn, you sure know your tank parts! yeah, thats a russian tank machine gun from a t72, and used an aluminum barrel from an AFV tiger 1 that was just junk and parts from a ferdinand tiger and some parts from a federation droid tank too.

I know lots of tank parts stippy, if you have not figured it out I am Char from GalileoII Smile [:)] Plus I could tell that was the Russian machine gun since I am loaded on Russian tanks Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

AMT AT-AT its a little on the small side I would think.

Whoa! Verra, Verra nice-uh! Big Smile [:D]

Isn't it amazing how you can take a regular "found object" and make it in to something that almost every SciFi geek out there can immediately identify? And you're doing an awesome job w/it, too! Can you tell us a guesstimated cost on this? Betcha it'll be under $20 for materials and paints, huh?

The greatest measure of a man is his children and what kind of people they are.

Just wanted to say I have really enjoyed watching this project grow! A really nice development of a one of the finer Star Wars "less thought about" features.

Well done, keep it coming! You inspire me Big Smile [:D]
