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 (...) (25 years ago, 13-Nov-99, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

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)
