Hi All

Thanks heaps guys and finally finsihed the last of the weathering last night LMK what you all think.

Once I finally got the new Hasbro AT-ST it took me weeks to decide what to do with it and I finally decided to just have it as a stand alone diorama as you see here. As always it was painted and weathered using Vallejo, GW paints and pastels.
 
RECIPE
       
AT-ST - As mentioned above this is the new Hasbro toy, I replaced the left and right weapons with 1/35th parts from my bits box and the antenna are pieces of plasti card. I also added the back guide rails on the legs using longer pieces of plasti card.  The upper interior sections of the legs were filled in using card board and plasti card.
 
The Base  - the base is from an old computer table that I stripped down and the dead logs are from the garden at work. The dirt is from my back yard and the dead grass is from Woodland Scenics, the small stubbles of grass are from The Army Painter.

Wow this looks great Ron. I would love to see what you would do with one of these in a Hoth type environment.

Ron,

What a great dio, I absolutely love your attention to detail on the paint work. Your weathering is particularly fantastic, the variation in colour and the subtle way you accent different areas gives everything a more dramatic 3d look...

Another fine piece of work!

[Road Warrior]

Brilliant work! I have been a fan of your work for along time now.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Ron, again you have created one of the coolest dios ever for a brain numbingly awesome vehicle. You continualy outdo yourself with each project it seems and at the same time everything you have created for a long time now is perfect. THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS REDICULOUS! Love the grass growing out of the dacayed part of the log. The weathering, well you did it so enough said.

Hi All

Guys as always thank you for all the kind words and as always there all very much appreciated. And if you guys haven't tried it yet try using real dirt , sticks etc you'll be amazed how life like the dio does look especially with all the ready made products that you can get now a days.

Tamer if  I can get my hands on a new AT-AT and 1 or 2 snowspeeders lets just say that it will be a real nice dio.
