NEW - SLR - Endor AT-AT Custom - WIP
« Reply #76 on: April 08, 2013, 09:22:04 AM »
Well I finally managed to buy a cheap AT AT on E Bay! Its taken a while! LOL! :)
This is an Endor version from 97 for those who want to know. :)
A while back Tamer and I had a short discussion about me making an AT AT Playset (its on pages 17 & 18 of my Dio Thread if you want to read it), I thought it would be a bit large as Id really have to make the whole thing and not just the insides to be happy with it, so I compromised and said I would have a go at modifying an AT AT vehicle if I could get a cheap one! :)
Here are the first WIP shots! ;)

Firstly I used an idea Ive seen used before round here ( sorry! I cant remember which of you talented fellows did it, but thanks to whoever it was! :) ) so I made the side door a platform to increase the play area, this I did with some wire, a couple of cannon legs and some straws. The Straws can come off and the side door will then close again as the wire doesnt get in the way. :)

Secondly as it had a cut out window in the platform and I saw some pics of the BIG Legacy AT AT with all the bells and whistles somewhere, I decided to make up some sort of winch system, so I made the existing hatch bigger and knocked together a winch which is manual but works fine, its made from a retracting cord for keys from a belt (though I had to break it so it didnt crash into the AT AT at speed each time it was used! LOL!) there is also a cog and the frame from a Falcon's Radar Dish, the harness I used to raise and lower the figures is the gunnery chair from a Falcon.

Thirdly I took the electronic box that makes noises out and added it to my Death Star Dio, which made a lot more room inside and left a hole, which with a bit of tweaking was made big enough to hold a Speeder Bike.

Fourth I had to alter the back of the AT At so the Speeder Bike could be lauched from it, so with a bit of cutting and the aid of some gaffer tape and some side decor from a Falcon again, I made the back of the AT AT into a door.

I then added a couple of cannons and some extra interior bits.

The AT AT had no Cockpit Canopy so I am considering making one, theres a pic of a possibility here to!

Anyway, still a long way to go and lots of painting to be done, but I hope you like what i have done so far! :)

Heres the pics! Enjoy! :)

More pics! :)
The Silver cannon below the head has a red LED light in it which flashes and makes shooting noises. The Canopy is from the Action Force Helicopter I altered to make the Aliens Dropship.
There will be blue LED's added to the interior of the AT AT when its finsihed! :)

The canopy was from the helicopter for 12" figures at the start of the dropship work, it was virtually fitted anyway, but was too long to I cut it to size using a hot wire, the round cheeks at the side of the  head were a problem, but the falcon radar dish was about the same size, so I drew round it & cut it again with hot wire, then a couple more holes were melted and screws put through them to hold the canopy in place. The next issue was a screw fixture in front of the pilots, so I had to remove that & there you have it!
One problem I have noticed is its balance, since removing the sound box in the rear, it's head is now the heaviest part, so it's balance isn't as good as it was, but don't worry it doesn't fall over! Lol! :)

Wow, you cut all that canopy corners and what not with just a hot wire? Fantastic.

Thanks guys! Well Tamer, it's a hot wire attached to an artists pyrography tool! So no I wasn't running back and forth to the oven! Lol!
Though in the past I used to use just hot wire in an open fire to burn runes into wood, so it would be possible to do it that way! ;)

SLR, that is a wonderful conversion, I absolutely love the fact that the speeder bike fits in the back, and the cabin is so much better with your improvements.

I really admire your skill that's been shown in this project.
