It will be a hard project for me, because I don't have all the right tools, but this AT-AT build has started....



More to come...

Nice. 
Wood is a great medium.  I cant wait to watch this build progress.
Beg or borrow those tools and good luck.

Yesterday started constructing the "head" of the AT-AT...

some parts still need to be attached together... I'm going to try to paint the missing shape detail like the round curves on the side where the guns will be attached to.




Top comes off and there will be space for three drivers.



And finaly the bottom with some small detail. The bottom will stay open like this so it is easy accesable for small four year old hands

A quick impression about the size and how the scale against the figures is going to be

Update/teaser:

The last few days I did not had to much time to keep #Buildingtoysformyson, but every day I did a little bit of work on the AT-AT project.

By now the AT-AT is almost completely build. Only some minor details. The first paint layers are already aplied to the "little dog" (my son calles it so) and I,m hoping to finish it all this weekend.

Here is a teaser pic taken from the already fully painted "belly"



Another small detail I have been constructing is a small inner part that my son asked for: a boardcannon! This one in the picture is demolished already because I made it to perfect... after painting it, the spare millimeters that I left over for moving were taken by the paint so there was no more movement left :-\ There has been a new build already, but that one I will show you when the project is done!

Wow, wow, wow! I love it! Too bad this can't be mass produced. Off to share.

I bet your son is still smiling.
