Well this is my first attempt at 2 things. 1. A Walker 2. Freelance space model as an AFOL This model is loosely based on the Star Wars AT-PT. I was attempting an AT-PT and found that it was going to be very hard to make an AT-PT to scale. I then decided to use it as inspiration and this is what I have come up with so far. For the most part I like the general design but I am sure it will change somewhat over the next couple of weeks as it seems most of my models do. The interior is fully detailed although I have not taken any interior pictures so far. There is an engine in the back and the 2 crew members sit back to back. One crew member is the pilot and the other is a gunner/navigator. http://www.nelug.org/members/kingsley/space/hawalker/index.htm Let me know what you think.

		Re: 2 person Heavy Assault Walker
Very nice Eric. It does look quite a bit like the real AT-PT. I had tried to build one once, but didn't have the pieces that would make it work, though, but I like the click-brick idea. Think, you could bring it Saturday? I'd really like to see it (...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
