(...) I've been avidly following Joel's progress on this ... great job, Joel! It looks perfect! Maybe someday in the not-too-distant future we should have a display with *3* AT-AT's? What is the articulation in the legs like? Although the legs of my (...) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.starwars)

(...) AFAIK that was Chris' and John's handywork. Did you notice Joel's trick with the AT-AT neck? :-) SRC LUGNet#765 (URL) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.starwars)

(...) ACK! I thought it was Joel's work I'd been following, but when I looked for AT-AT projects on Brickshelf I stumbled across a bunch, but not Joel's! SO this is quite possibly the first time I got a hint of the undertaking .. which makes it even (...) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Yup, that AT-AT was gorgeous! I'm not sure Joe posts to Lugnet, so I'll try and answer some of the questions. His knees don't bend; the only articulation is ankles and hips (but the ankles are *so* cool!) I think he ran into the same problem (...)

(...) 6-tool sprue rings :) I don't know too many of the details of how he did it, but I know that's what he used. Currently the head is single position only, but he's planning to try and give it some mobility. Same basic problem as the legs: the (...)

(...) That's a gorgeous idea, using the 6-tool sprue rings. Tonight I'll try and post some pictures of the head-support mechanism I used in my AT-AT, which I think is fully compatible with the use of these sprues. Basically, it operates on the (...)

(...) The ships inside were a mixture of Joe's and John's, I believe. Some of the detail (small crane, the 2 small trains, and a fuel tower) were John's, but I slammed the rest (control room, walkway, larger fuel tank, two "vehicles", the pair of (...)

Yes, his AT-AT is MOST impressive. To be fair(biased more likely). I preferred his AT-AT to yours(Shaun) and Dave's(Eaton???). I make this claim as I was at Brikfest last year and had the opportunity to see firsthand your guys' Echo/AT-AT display. I (...) (22 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.starwars)
