Hi All,

The AT-AT head is now ready for painting and weathering. I made the side mounted sections using pot plant bottoms and then using spakfilla to make the curved sections.

The side weapons were finally done also by using plastic card to make them.

Hi All,

Last update for the night.

I have sprayed the head using Tamya's Nuetral Grey and have started sanding what area's I missed when I sanded it before.

I will get another spray on it tomorrow and then I'll start they weathering.

Hi All,

The sanding is now complete and I didn't make it to the shops today so I'll pick up the paints I need tomorrow.

But until then I started on the smoke using a wire coat hanger and then gluing the cotton wool balls to it. I still need to add spary paint them to simulate smoke.

The smoke will also need plastic card added to it to simulate the hull being blown outwards.

For the fire as you can on the non stick paper it is still drying and once it does it will be completely clear. I used Woodland Scenics Water Effects and once it does become clear I will paint the inside of it to give a fire look and then add the flickering lights.

once the smoke and fire is done it will allow my mate to add it to the dio whenever he wants.

Hi All,

Have sprayed the AT-AT head and will weather it tonight. I have also done the smoke using Tamiya's matt black and medium grey spary cans until I was happy with the result.

The flames I have started and I used cheap battery powered flickering lights. I then used Woodland Scenics Water Effects to make the fisrt lot of flames and gave them a wash of red/orange and yellow.

I still need to add smoke around the base of the flames and also use the Water Effects to bulk up the flames.
