I'd be very wary about adding flexible areas to the feet. I suggest making the toe tips on the feet "dangle" when foot is raised. The only ones that really jump out to me are the brick yellow pieces at the top of the main body, such a weird inclusion and super noticeable It might be a few weeks as I am not rushing this to get max enjoyment :) I am really enjoying this set but I will post some updates once I finish and get to the modding stage. Im also going to do some work on smoothing the final look out a bit to be less studded in certain places. If this is an 18+ set then dumbing it down while spoiling the final look is unforgivable, especially when suitable pieces in dbg or lbg are available. I know they try to make orientation easier by color coding sections but the usual problem of rainbow insides is unforgivable if it’s actually possible to see it from certain angles. There are some baffling design decisions when it comes to colour use. I am glad you made this thread as I was going to make one like this myself.Īlready I have a list of parts that I will be ordering to mod mine. I am currently building mine and just finished box 1. I have a strong feeling that a Snowspeeder will be involved! The next question will be how to display it. Once the set arrives I'll be checking to see if there is anything to represent a sensor array and terrain scanners and I'll be working out how to fit in another speederbike I think they would all fit on a rack in the lower part of the main hold and would look something like this: The AT-AT has 25 of them according to the specs. I've found this image which seems to match the description. This is an item I've not heard of and obviously hasn't been recreated in Lego so it's something I've had to imagine up. I'm not sure exactly what comes with the set and battlepacks yet but I'll make sure I have enough firepower for all the troops on board. Next we come to the weaponry included with the set. I know General Veers is included but was he commanding the actual AT-AT? He was in charge of all the AT-ATs and troops on the battlefield, would the AT-AT have had it's own separate commander in addition to Veers? I think so and have added an Imperial Commander with battle armour to my list of figures to buy. The next crew member not included with the set is the AT-AT Commander. I've chosen an Imperial Ground Crew Technician minifig to represent the engineer and an Imperial Gunner to represent the loadmaster. Each AT-AT comes with it's own engineer and loadmaster. There is seating for 40 troops in addition to the crew but it seems that Lego have forgotten about a couple of crucial crew members. I'm getting all my information from wookiepedia: (Galactic_Civil_War) I don't think there is a more comprehensive source for Star Wars trivia. With the addition of 3 more speeders and 35 more Snowtroopers, the vehicle will have it's full complement of troops but what about the rest of the listed specs? I have decided that is what I'm going to do with mine. There was a very brief discussion about bringing the AT-AT up to Canon specification. I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered but I already have ideas of how to add more to it. I was going to make a dedicated thread just for my own ideas but it's probably better to have a general mod thread for this glorious piece of Empire equipment.
