no, its an original idea i had for an AT-ST that can hang out and be a kind of moble precicion artillery, a sniper equvilant for heavy armor

Very nice work, Helix! Other than Wayne's foot swap, this is the first custom that I have seen of the new AT-ST and it is going to turn out stunning, from the looks of things. Can't wait to see it finished.

that is an amazing piece of work helix.  after seeing your wip pics of this I decided to break down and finally get an atst of my own. Now I don't even want to try and customize it cuz I know it'll be nowhere near this good.  I'll probably just try and make mine more screen acurate....

Thanks all of you for the comments and praise, i'm really surprized it turned out as wel as it did myself.  i think that i,ve found a new niche in the custom vehicle area, but i still will be doing figure customs as well.  I'll be posting some more shots of the AT-ST  later tonight.

I know one thing, I love everything about it. The firepower, paint job, custom graphics on the side, everything. If they do release a new atat we keep hearing rumors of I hope you give it a similar treatment. I know one thing, I have a potf2 walker if you want a test subject. This atst was just over the top.

how about an I.M.P.S. AT-AT nose art job?

Wow, you read my mind.  Wouldn't this look sweet, with some side door gunners like Ron Hemble created and some rapelling snowtroops like Spuda Fett has just created along with a few drivers of his too in the ole cockpit? Oh I do get ahead of myself sometimes.

Please Helix I am just thinking out loud here as I do that when I see something I really like like this new atst custom.  I promise not to jack your thread with my little whimsies.

It's amazing how much better the AT-ST looks with some paint on it.  Don't get me wrong, it's a great toy...but the flat finish, weathering, and graffiti you've embellished it with really brings it up a notch.  And I love it when people use the Aurebesh lettering for adding text to vehicles and figures...brilliant work.

Top notch work there, Helix! Your fab skills are only matched by your paint. What a fabulous way to upgrade your old speeder.
You need a little desert hanger viginett to put this one in.
I see a bright front page story in your future.

Post by: spudafett on May 19, 2010, 07:11:45 AM
lol  but... wouldn't that be redundant since the speeders were "modified for the extreme cold" to begin with....

 ::)

sorry, I still can't get over that.

I saw this on deviant art first and couldn't wait to see you post it here.  This is simply awesome.  I love the repaint.  it's simple and effective and yet I know it wasn't simple to do at all.   I love the single blaster and modified engines and shield generator.  I love the small tan accents...  I love it all.  Great job!

Man, I love this new sculpt. And the paint job is superb also. It's always so alien..for me, at least when I see a different paint scheme on the snow speeder..only cause we saw it in one environment in The Empire Strikes Back, but it makes sense that these would have been a multi purpose vehicle.
  Nice job on this one, kinda makes me want to go out and grab one for myself.

WOW!!!

That swamp speeder really pushes the boundaries of what my brain can handle!!!

I mean for 30 years I have only thought of it as a "snow speeder".

But, it could be used in any enviroment.  I just never thought of it before.

I have to go re-examine the last 3 decades of my life...

I would like to seen one given a Tatooine deco. Sandy color scheme, good bit of weathering including rust, additional packs added to sides, storage area for Sandtrooper Backpacks.

Sand deco at-st's have been done before... although knowing you helix you'd blow the thing out of the water and make it uber-awesome...

What about a fully decked out forest cammo walker complete with a "guile-suit" type covering?

OR...

aquatic/beach at-st?  some kind of blend between a water and sand deco?...

or....

anti-aircraft AT-ST with large missile lauchers of somekind (maybe from a hell-fire droid?)...

Well if you look at it that way, what hasn't been done before. Tom, Clonesniper78 has done some amazing AT-ST mods. Including the jungle version with guile suit covering and he added tank tracks to one rather than legs for one of the coolest versions I have ever seen. Good luck with whatever route you take Helix!

Underwater AT-AT?

Post by: Mungo Baobab on October 27, 2011, 02:05:32 PM
What if you used the body as the cockpit of a ship? Give it some TIE wings and use the feet as landing gear.

Underwater AT-AT?



I was thinking along those lines but I couldn't envision what might be possible...

you could do something like the at-at swimmer...

There is a comic that has a picture of one in it. I need to see if I can find a reference picture for it, but it looked cool. I think it was when Darth Krayt was going after the Mon Cals. I think.

How about a smaller atat walker platform with two atsts joined  together, both sets of legs facing forward and the rear head facing behind? Allow a bit of room in between so the heads could still rotate and if desired face and fire the same direction.

I think you should do like an ocean blue color and then add some finns to the top of the cockpit but I don't mind if you don't do mine ti's only an idea.0

I like the "Ugly" idea.  I think it would look neat w/ treads...kinda like a tie-crawler.  There is a new GI Joe vehicle that is a treaded tank-thing that the control station raises up...that would be cool looking with an AT-ST cockpit. And BIG guns.

that's already been done, and it somewhere here on the forum in Clonesniper78 vehicle thread I believe.

Maybe combine the head of the AT-ST with the body of an Imperial Shuttle, or the Clone Wars Republic Shuttle/Playset?

I think it could look really good as the head/front of a ship of sometype, rather than parts underneath it.

Ok, i got the interior of the AT-ST pretty much done, the thing was a pain in the ass to get out of the main body

got some work done on the AT-ST I've been working on and settled on a night/adverse conditions variant. i was missing the hatch and eye covers on it so i had to figure something out with styrene and a PotF walker hatch. a basecoat of gunship gray and we're rolling again.

Excellent work! Loving these babies! That AT-ST would look awesome blasting away at the Sandalorians on Tatooine. Amazing cockpit! Where'd you get that little scroll of text from?

I think it's from a decal set from a 1:48 scale weapons set for model aircraft, I painted a small square of plasic gloss black then put the decals over the top of it

it showed up at a local smiths marketplace about 6 months ago, and i only recently picked it up. i was dissapointed in its cockpit more than anything, it was a one peice "armored canopy" as hasbro called it i just thought it was lazy, the interior was also pretty blah so i put the control console from the Xanadu blood in there to mak it look better
