So cool to see you back on the thread! I really like the paint job on that A-wing, it really sings.

Thanks, mate. I had chosen a carnival-like color palette for this one.

Cool looking A-Wing, the colors are great

Thanks! I'm glad you liked :)

I finished another repaint, this time for the Rogue one tank. The way the factory paint was applied always bother me, despide the excellent weathered concept.

One can see the difference now. And I thought Hasbro's paint apps were good! Well, they are better than before, but THIS is something else. Epic make-over on this one! If I have a second one of this tank, I'll give him some weathering to get some variety. Those could be quite cheap on clearance. Sometimes I wish I lived in the U.S.
Thanks so much for sharing this one - I'm very impressed!

Finished my ATST conversion, lots of small increments and efforts were put on this one. I'm really happy how it turned out as I'm aiming to replicate the movie model as best as I can. It's not 100% movie accurate, but it's satisfying.

Looks great. I thought it was a bandai kit at first. Cool groundwork too.

Nice work all the way around. If its not screen accurate you would have to be pretty picky. Looks spot on to me and I like my Walkers!

Thanks! I used the kit as a guild for the mods in fact :)

Thanks, I too have some extra to be upgraded here. But my next walker will be Mandalorian's Marauders.

Sorry for my late comment on this jaw-dropping project! I agree with previous commentators and with you! You can be very happy with the result. I like your attention to detail like the drilled holes for the main cannons. Like on your Rogue One Tank the paint looks amazing on this AT-ST. If I got The Black Series AT-ST that cheap, I'd be tempted to customize one as well. If I remember correctly this one could be found on Clearance for as low as $9.99. The cheapest one  of The Black Series that I got was 30€. Well, if I break down the SOTDS Hoth Assault Pack from 2010 the cheapest Walker was probably about $20. Good times...

I think you nailed the shade of grey used by the Galactic Empire and I also enjoy how you recreated the weight of the vehicle on the diorama base! That's the kind of stomping action I like and only know from Jurassic Park. haha And I also like how you filled or covered all holes for the screws with additional details and added this battle damage to the body's front. As JDeck already said, this could be confused with a fine model by Bandai. And I think that's a big compliment. This is a dream project of many and as far as I remember not your fist custom Scout Walker, right? The rusty one was another impressive idea. Really well done, mate!

The paintwork on the assault tank and the AT-ST looks incredibly good.
Excellent work
