AT-ST Walker (All
Terrain Scout Transport)
- 3¾" Scale
The fantastic AT-ST
Walker (All Terrain
Scout Transport) made at
scale for the 3¾" Star
Wars figures (1:20). It
was made entirely based
on blueprints designed
after a long and
exhaustive research.
The AT-ST is made out of
apoxy resin,
polyurethane resin and
fiberglass. Has 20
points of articulation (please
see pictures 4 and 5):
1 - Foot (x2)
2 - Ankle (x2)
3 - Ankle (x2)
4 - Shoulder (x2)
5 - Inside the shoulder
(x2)
6 - Joint body-shoulder
(x2)
7 - Neck
8 - Side-mounted weapon
pods (x2)
9 - Windows (x2)
10 - Hatch
11 - Access to the
cockpit area
12 - Chin-mounted laser
cannons
The cockpit area
includes the control
panel of the vehicle and
two sets for soldiers.
The legs are leaded for
balance.
The legs can be
completely disassembled
and the legs
articulations can be
replaced in case of too
much use. Its measures
are about 16 inches tall,
7 inches wide and 12
inches depth. Its weight
is about 3.30 lbs.
Several painting
techniques were used to
reach the most accurate
realism (brush and
airbrush in search of
that rusted metal finish
characteristic of the
vehicle).
Action figures and
Hasbro AT-ST not
included. Shown for
scale purposes only.
