AMT Imperial Walker

Hi all, this is my first venture into a sci-fi subject. Erm, well, I’m not sure if it should be considered sci-fi at this point as you’ll soon see what I mean.

This is the AMT AT-AT. Kit’s not too bad, the only problem I saw, and that I didn’t correct, was that the legs are too close together. This thing would be tripping over itself if it could really move. Other than that, it was a simple build. I had intended to paint it in a German world war II scheme but thought better of it for reasons that still aren’t clear to me. Oh well, I think its some what fitting in a Soviet scheme any how. I mean, nothing says ‘evil empire’ quite like this.

I plan on creating a small diorama but I haven’t made up my mind as to its subject yet. It’ll either be a 1946 type scenario of the Soviets taking the rest of western Europe or something like a battle of Kursk scene.

Sorry for the nasty pics but I don’t really have a decent set up. I’ll try to take better pics as the idea progresses. I’m slowed down these days by the birth of my son so building is very sluggish.

Feel free to comment and criticize. Improvements? Let me know!

Thanks,

They better be careful, Luxembourg has snow speeders

Nicely painted. i love how you managed to make it look very metallic. Different idea to make it an earth vehicle, it probably needs more markings to separate it ffrom the SW universe. it’d look great going up against ww2 tanks instead of ww2 speeders. (bows and arrows against the lightning)
